Two grey wagtails this morning at the water bridge were a female and a juvenile.  although the latter was clearly capable of feeding itself it was receiving food from its parent.  were these our known breeders from by the meccano????
2 chiffchaff and a blackcap sang in the hawthorn wood but little else to report.
Back to sunday sitting on the bench at the top of the field gave me good views (and hearings) of the garden warbler as well as a female whitethroat and accompanying young.
family parties of 5 goldfinch and 5 greenfinch were actively feeding as well as a chiffy.
A walk back thru the school/training ground proved fruitless in terms of the black redstart but did elicit a distant calling raven.
