set out this morning just after 7 from newbridge along railway to Compton allotments and onto canal at wightwick mill looped back along bridleway from south of pool hall and along lane to return to canal at castle croft bridge. (had done similar route previous sunday.
Great crested Grebe the pair at pool hall have two young three quarter grown.
Lapwing last week pair very agitated around castle croft bridge suggesting young but no sign today
Skylarks a few present and singing maybe 4/5 pairs which is disappointing
Blackcap the most frequently heard songster with 10+ all between tettenhall and wightwick
Whitethroat reasonable numbers 5 singing males and family party at Pool hall
Lesser Whitethroat very well seen gathering food presumably for young birds halfway between Compton and wightwick
Willow warbler also food collecting just beyond the lesser
Chiffchaff only 1 calling bird on each walk
Yellowhammer 2 singing birds by castle croft bridge today and last week
disappointment was only one distant swallow today and only 3/4 last week and no raptors today altho male sparrowhawk in my garden yday was compensation.
