The hay in the Dovecote field has been collected and baled so the previous 30+ Yellow Wags have left. A group of 12 or so Starlings feeding in the large area of Hawthorn and other trees in ‘tree plantation’ field were accompanied by a female Reed Bunting. In the tree plantation itself a single Tree Pipit was atop the tallest of the bushes and there was a Stonechat fly catching there. Whilst on the wooden bridge across Sully Brook I struggled to get a decent clear image of a very active Reed Warbler. The juvenile Moorhen was sitting in the invasive aquatic ‘weed’ [which I have fiorgotten the name of] at the dipping pond, and a Cetti’s Warbler sang very loudly near there.
