Lutley Wedge 01/08/10 11.30am Cloudy overcast and warm (21°c) W/NW 2

The first ever signs of successful breeding by Lesser Whitethroats at Lutley Wedge today, with at least 2 juvenile Lesser Whitethroats seen being fed by the adult birds at Wassell Grove Pools. Also signs that one pair of Garden Warblers have bred at the pools again.

Far fewer Swifts were seen today than a few days ago, and is perhaps a sign that Swifts have already started there migration South.

Wassell Grove/Pools totals:-

3 Lesser Whitethroat

4 Garden Warbler

3 Common Whitethroat

2 Blackcap 

3 Chiffchaff 

14 Swallow

11 Swift

5 House Martin
