1s male Red-footed Falcon still present this morning. Also juv Black Redstart still.
Can visitors act responsibly on site and keep the good image that birders have in the area. Don't go through the gates at the top onto the industrial estate. Don't stand on the drive to the houses/farm. Also the bird was fed locusts yday to make it show better. Can photographers use field craft please or just zoom their lens up higher! The bird does show incredibly well with a small bit of patience. Enjoy the bird, show consideration and just act normally is all we ask.
