Female Whinchat and Wheatears Lutley Wedge 5/5/10


Sedge Warbler Wassell Grove Pools 5/5/10

A small 'fall' today with 1F Whinchat and 3 Wheatears (1M2F) in a ploughed field at Foxcote. Also 1 Yellow Wagtail flew overhead >West. With no rainfall overnight, i think that the increasingly cloudy skies overhead during the morning combined with a light headwind must have grounded them.

3 Sedge Warblers
1 Lesser Whitethroat
2 Garden Warblers
3+ Common Whitethroats
2+ Chiffchaff
Blackcap
8+ Swallows
19 Swifts
