Observation details
The Fairies!! I'd forgotten that they might well be afoot today... but I ALS0 forgotten what absolute menaces they can be when guarding their territories (obviously I didn't go ploughing through their main stronghold, but a scan didn't show any eggs or chicks); I clearly wasn't the only one to feel this general annoyance at their existence, given they were savagely swooping down to attack birds as utterly harmless as the 0ystercatchers and Stints!! Two things of positive note, though, were of course their considerable prettiness and daintiness, but also the fact that, in order to keep tabs on me, one of them managed to expertly stall repeatedly into the wind, but still occasionally flap, to expertly hover backwards level with me!!
