Catch up on last week first.
Midweek walks ranged from wightwick to Oxley,
29 singing chiffchaff -6 south of Compton and 11 in northern section.
4 singing willow warbler 2 in paddocks-either end on Tuesday and 2 in north on Wednesday.
1 by aldersly tyres and 1 from canal but on racecourse. the latter was still singing from the same spot today. But only 9 blackcap which seem scarce this year-altho by far the commonest warbler on somerset levels at the weekend.
Yesterday mid section 7-9
mainly thrush and blackbird song to start with but eventually got to 8 blackcap but only 4 songsters,
Swallow parakeet and 2 cormorant all overfjew the paddocks.
today very pleased to see a male grey wagtail collecting food at a spot where I had seen a pair recently also just outside the valley on the Shropshire union my first brood-12 newly hatched mallard,
