Martin's Haven

Yesterday evening an immature/female Merlin over the Trehill fields. Then a female Sparrowhawk made a kill over the valley.
This afternoon there was a Grasshopper Warbler reeling through the wind on the Trehill field, Stonechats holding territory (one carrying food).
In the valley a couple of Willow Warblers, a Chiffchaff singing, up to 3 male Whitethroats and our first Sedge Warbler of the year.
There has been a constant trickle of migrating Swallows and House Martins throughout the day, mainly heading West.
