Given the wind direction not too much to add in terms of migrants.
3 swift over paddocks yesterday was good and a lesser white throat in north west corner of barleyfield feeding sedately low down.
the southern section produced swallow and house and sand martins the latter I suspect on migration but the others could have been local birds as certainly was the recently fledged whitethroat with a nervous parent.
as to resident birds kingfisher at wightwick and a juvenile buzzard with with 2 adults over Compton; seen again today with one parent over barleyfield and settling around ash hill. wonder where they bred? Otherwise lots of blackbirds which seem to have had a good year but no sign of the brood of 5 moorhen near meccano . hope they were hiding not predated.
Late item for last week was calling grey wagtail by meccano my first in valley for 4 months
today a solitary chiffchaff in paddocks in pristine condition
