Stepping on the Common Wares I had rouse the unauthorised camper whom had pitch a tent with providing an excellent view! I heard plenty of bird calls and believed a flurry of group activity might have been young Whitethroats. Briefly I caught sight of what could only be one of a family of Long Tailed Tits within the goat plot Holm Oak fringes.
I spied a rather shabby looking Fox carrying a bundle up the gully slope. It dropped its quarry and scampered off to hide in the scrub. It looked as if it had been working hard to provide for its family and it was a shame that it had abandoned the fresh warm Rabbit it had caught. I watched for a brief time wondering if the Rabbit would be reclaimed or fought over by Carrion Crows and Magpies, but neither event was witnessed. Later from the gully floor I looked up tom see a Roe deer looking back down at me. Above the rock escarpment the large mammal stood frozen part camouflaged in the tall grass with alert erect ears.
Out a sea I saw only a group of four Gannets fly towards the Solent, but I was sure there were more sharing their breakfast journey. Over fifty Guillemots we upon the sea in a dishevelled however a group of four Razor Bills were amongst them. At Tilly Whim view point I briefly watched Fulmars, Herring Gulls and Greater Black Backed Gulls pass the cliff top. I enjoyed the Kidney Vetch, Thrift and Bladder Campion blooms.
Despite the lack of sun Bumblebees were on the wing, later I manage to pick up an Adonis Blue butterfly from the wet grass. In almost the same location as Friday morning I again flushed a bird from the ground and this proved to be my second view of a Green Woodpecker this morning. I soon came across the snail shell remains beside a Song Thrush anvil. The bird song burst into song from the vicinity of the Lighthouse Road Bridge. Back at the office I witnessed the fledging of the Blue Tit chicks from the nest, revealed by the bumping and fluttering about the windows so we may have less to see on one nest box camera today!
