Wheatear at the Paget & garden goodies

Big thanks to Rob H for 2 tip off's first one today at 11.30 when he saw a migrant Wheatear (my first of the autumn) at the mounds we call Tele- Tubby land just south of the Education & Training centre, it just so happened I needed to go over there for work business and walking down I saw the confiding Wheatear barely 40 feet away on the edge of the mound at 11.55am. Looking out from the garden at 7am, following Rob H's first tip off of seeing a Hobby fly over Fallowfields, I heard the unmistakable call of a Common Sandpiper, a new garden record and lockdown species 63, closely flooded by a low flying Hobby which flew low and south- east over the garden just minutes later, lockdown species 64!
