Dodging the showers

Did the full length of the valley today from Oxley to Castle croft bridge.
10 singing chiffchaff which is less than we had at the weekend.5 singing blackcap which is better, also a female by the metal bridge.
2 lesser redpoll were a surprise in the paddocks but no sign of the weekends siskin.
Also no sign of yesterday afternoon s silent but active willow warbler in the paddock.
The southern end produced a welcome kestrel pair, raven, pair of yellowhammer, pair of coot on canal, single lapwing and 2 singing skylark.
Overall most pleasing was good numbers of goldfinch but disappointing ly no grey wagtail.
