Raptor watch

News that a black kite was heading south towards BK took me out to Klarningen in the afternoon to see if I could pick it up. No joy on the black kite front but nine honey buzzards south, a peregrine and a hunting goshawk (1K) were good reward for the effort.

Low diversity but high numbers of birds on the wetland. Large numbers of lapwing and greylag goose remain on site. Teal numbers have dropped to about 80 though. The ruff flock has hit 20, but there were just single snipe and greenshank otherwise. The access track had a total of nine whinchat and two wheatears.
