A dry day at long last and an early start to see what was around. I had a good start with a Yellow-browed Warbler and a Firecrest on my way down through Penns Wood and on my return journey an hour later I managed to get the "Eastern" Lesser Whitethroat again.
Also in the wood around 20+ Long-tailed Tits and lots of crests with around 6 Goldcrests and 5 Firecrests. Quite a few Chaffinches here and also one possibly 2 Brambling. Overhead were 2 Siskin and a Grey Wagtail.
At the back of the cove were 2 Chiffchaffs. Also here were 6 Long-tailed Tits, 2 Goldcrest and a Firecrest.
Also recorded:
Wakeham Railway Cuttings: 5 Long-tailed Tit
Wakeham Wood: 5 Greenfinch and 3 Redwing
Despite the lack of sun a Red Admiral was on the wing at the back of the cove.
Here are a few images from today:
The "Eastern" Lesser Whitethroat in its favourite Cypress Tree.
If its not in the Cypress then it can found feeding in the Sycamores close by. A very busy bird.
A Chiffchaff at the back of the cove. Very white throat and strong supercilium. Siberian would be nice!!!
