Warblers passing through again
30th August 15 morning mid section
cloudy, 12-16°c, 1019mb, NW 2- NE 4 mph
The Barleyfield was quiet again apart from a small group of blackcap in the Hanging Grds. One male and probably about 3 female plus a chiffchaff, there's so much cover now it's difficult to obtain good numbers. Two young bullfinch also Hanging Grds and a ♀ great spot up the hill in the western border. The Paddocks, quiet early morning but on return journey Ian and myself picked up a small group of mixed warblers including at least 3 willow ( 2 imm ) probably 2 chiffchaff and another 2+ blackcap along with a goldcrest,coal tit and a few long-tail tit. A nuthatch calling from trees by the old bridge on Meadow View and another singing coal tit rounded off a better day.
