IVINGHOE HILLS 1 MAY

A bit of a later bash around the hills this morning, i didn't get there until after 7.30.

All the usual warblers on Steps including 2 Garden Warblers, and a pair of Grey Partridge, only migrant over was a Lesser Redpoll.

The Beacon was quite quiet except for 2 migrant Tree Pipit which arrived from the South together, calling, they landed not too far from the Trig on the South-West side of the Beacon. One took off again and flew strongly North out into the wilderness after only 2-3 minutes but the other remained, I left it in peace.

Just before the Tree Pipits a Cuckoo went through.

No Rouzels and no Wheatears !

Nothing of note at startops/ marsworth in a quick look.

A relatively brief stop at Wilstone produced 4 Hobbies over the middle of the reservoir, feeding (Mike Wallen)
