Yellow Wagtail – 28th August

August 28, 2017Recent wildlife sightings2017, 28th August, Reed Warbler, Slurry Lagoon, Sparrowhawk, Yellow WagtailPete Smith

This morning a Yellow Wagtail flew over the site to the south.  A Sparrowhawk was seen to fly in a direct line in fast, active flight, across the Slurry Lagoon and straight into the reeds on the opposite side to emerge almost straight away with what was presumably a hapless Reed Warbler in its talons.  PS.
