Willey; mid- morning a Male Sparrowhawk visited the garden. A Green Woodpecker is calling still frequently. A Blackcap has taken up a territory behind the church.
Bittesby; I had a walk over the Bittesby farm area this afternoon, this area has been in the higher stewardship scheme for a number of years now and much habitat has been created, so sometimes it can produce interest sightings. Today, with high cloud and a ‘heavy’ feeling things were a bit quite. 2 pairs of Yellowhammers, a pair each of Linnet and Goldfinch and plenty of Chaffinch in their territories. Warblers included Blackcap, Chiffchaff and At least 3 singing Whitethroat, including one nest building. A Grey Wagtail flew along the brook, and a Buzzard was flying around. Several Skylark were singing over the oilseed rape fields. One Stock Dove was one the track and a couple of Pheasant were heard.
