Where have all our warblers gone
29th August 15 morning mid section
mostly sunny, 13-16°c, 1019mb, S 6-WSW 8 mph
I haven't seen a warbler this morning, just 2 chiffchaff calling on the Barleyfield. On the positive side what looked good for a young buzzard was over Tettenhall Ridge with a moulting adult for a few minutes, if so it proves a successful breeding season. A female grey wagtail was on the Graiseley brook by the Prefabs and the moorhen chick still nearby on the weir.
