20/10/13 -A whole year of my blog.

Throughout this summer, and the year, I have been awful at putting my sightings on and my photos which I have taken as, in my opinion, the year was full of records.

• The Berkeley Park- Scott Law (mostly in the Spring but a little in the Autumn) proved great for migrating warblers with Whitethroats, chiffchaffs, willow warblers, blackcaps, reed warblers, lesser whitethroats, sedge warblers, garden warblers and even the very secretive grasshopper warbler being sighted with some great photo opportunities. Also a pair of Spotted flycatchers bred and this was a first for me and great to see.
• An amazing morning in the summer with excellent weather proved great for swifts as we had roughly 40 in one huge flock at one point.
• Hobby's scored high with 3 being sighted hunting together very quickly over our house in the summer.
• The same goes with buzzards as on the 19/5/13 we had 11 on the thermols and even a red kite.
