Two days ago at Cosmeston, a Treecreeper gave a rare opportunity to get some nice photos of it doing what it does best, creeping up a tree!, and also a couple of shots showing the camouflage and the cryptic upper part markings. A Song Thrush posed nicely near the dipping pond. Today a Grasshopper Warbler was found reeling in a hedge at the top of the field above Sully Brook, by Graham Smith. Sadly it had stopped and gone into hiding when I got there. There were 2 possibly 3 Common Whitethroats song flighting in that field and a Lesser Whitethroat was singing from cover, in the central area of vegetation. Also Cetti’s Warbler singing from down by the brook itself. This morning whilst leading a walk in the grounds of the Kymin in Penarth, we saw a pair of Sparrowhawks mating in a tall tree. Something I’ve never seen before.
