Cannot help but reflect back on this time last year when any migrant foolish enough to arrive would be lucky to survive and we witnessed warblers feeding on the ground.
Today in the north of the valley there were three singing chiffchaff somewhat incongruously accompanied by a singing Redwing in hawthorn wood.
A little further north adjacent to the rifle range another warbler but this time the pale legs more attenuated form and longer supercilium indicated a Willow Warbler which fed extremely actively.
Postscript to yesterday was displaying lapwing and calling skylark at the southern end of the valley beyond castlecroft bridge.
Postscript to today was 3 buzzards soaring over my house in crowther rd.
