Still present, viewed from the northbank of Dorney Wetlands. Just after a rain shower I found it preening, perched on top of a Hawthorn bush west of the clinker beds and before the grassy area. Watched for 20mins at a distance of c200m before it flew from the bush and caught a mouse/vole. Returned with its catch to the top of the bush before flying off with its prey. I did not relocate it again.

No sign between this time and 17:32. A great deal of noisy army activity exasperated the already very obvious disturbance of the area.
