Meatbox8 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Quite a lot of nightime helicopter activity as well as plenty of bats. Helicopters sound like Apaches and Wockas. Saw a Wildcat and my first RN Merlin HC3 a couple of days ago. Edited June 3, 2016 by Meatbox8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fingers Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 There was one above my place on Wednesday. Maybe the same one, there ain't many round here. Yet. They are drifting up from the M4. Probably as common as Sparrows given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Probably as common as Sparrows given time. Especially as House Sparrows are declining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get plenty of Buzzards but no red kites. We do get Swallows though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon382 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Get Chinooks fairly regularly here in West Kingsdown but recently had a HH-60 fly right over the house followed a few days later by an Osprey. No idea why they're this far South but luving it!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Not my house but I'm sat at Ouistreham waiting to catch the ferry back to Blighty, just had a couple of Dakota/C-47's fly over - probably part of today's D-Day celebrations. The second one had D-Day stripes and US insignia under one wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaddad Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Piper L4? not sure for certain but it was some sort of light observation jobby with D-day stripes underwing. Also 2 Red Kites engaged in aerial combat whilst simultaneously being harassed by a pair of some sort of Corvidae, just like the BoB!
