Fairly quiet overhead migration session of1 1/2 hours was enlivened on the way back to the car when two Great White Egrets flapped their way slowly west into the wind. Not a species I expected to see low down over the telephone mast. The only other notable species were 208 Stock Dove flying in a westerly direction and a Swallow heading SE
