Walked the length of Cockleton Lane.
Heard a whitethroat sing, and found it on an aerial cable. Did its display flight over the cable. Also, swallows and pied wagtails around the farm. This area will be worth exploring more in the future.
Afternoon walk around Medham.
Buzzard being mobbed by crows. Kestrel, green woodpecker; two little egrets on riverbank; swallows around Medham Farm; and my first whitethroat in this area, in a patch of brambles, followed by another in a tree.
