It was a very late afternoon walk, and I wasn't expecting to see much as the sun began to set. And so it proved to be, with the only highlight being two Meadow Pipits in the temporary horse paddock in the butterfly reserve.

1 Kestrel

2 Meadow Pipit

This Kestrel was overlooking the butterfly reserve from the top of a house next to the reserve.
