Evening spent on Baddesley Common avoiding the relentless barrage of Soap Operas on TV as much as hoping to see any decent birds!
The whole area was very quiet.. 1 Hobby high overhead was the highlight and dozens of Warblers, mainly Chiff-Chaffs were frantically calling and feeding throughout the reserve. A recent Fall after the rain perhaps? Certainly no other migrants to back this theory up, and I don't get to walk the common often enough to notice the comings and goings.
Did explore the extensive scrub and woodland to the West of the main track for the first time. Gets far too boggy in Winter to go off the footpath. Certainly potential in this quiet corner of the reserve, and also potential in the fenced off fields East of "Checkpoint Charlie".
First visit that I haven't seen a Stonechat! |
