On a rather quiet day bird wise the hilite was a water vole which swam across the canal andclimbed half out before spotting me and disappearing. The sighting was halfway between Newbridge and the meccano and is the first I have seen in the valley since the major pollution leak from Barnhurst about 4 years ago.
In terms of birds a single Wheatear in the same area as last Saturday and a few warblers at Pool Hall. also a thin passage of Swallows going north.
Best bird was a singing Tree Pipit on railway line 50 yrds north of castlecroft bridge again moving north, also reed bunting at wightwick lock.
Finally going back to last Tuesday (23) a singing Lesser Whitethroat 100 mtres south of newbridge on canal.
