Crowborough 11/07/2018

Having been out birding at night recently, I have observed/heard at least one Tawny Owl on the Beeches Estate, and I know that it is more than likely that there are more elsewhere in the town. Indeed, many birders have recorded them on BirdTrack. Also, it appears that the first Black-headed Gull has arrived back in town (10/07/2018) for the winter. This species does not breed in Crowborough, but in winter numbers often reach hundreds. A final observation was of a male Kestrel, a first for my garden, which was first sighted over Jarvis Brook, before presumably the same species flew over the Beeches Estate, and then later on over the town centre.
