Newton; a first short visit to a private site that has lakes and scrub and grassy areas - should have potential over the year. Warblers were represented by Chiffchaff, Willow Warblers, Blackcap, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat Sedge and Reed Warblers. Several Linnet, Chaffinch, Goldfinch and several Reed Buntings feeding young. A Green Woodpecker called, Swallow were feeding over the water, a Buzzard, Mute Swan pair with cygnets, also Coot and Moorhen. Several Stock Dove were present. At least 2 Song Thrush singing.
Butterflies included Common Blue, Small Heath, Large Skipper, Speckled Wood, unidentifiable ‘White’. Numerous Dragonfly and Damselfly, including Four-spotted Chaser, Banded Demoiselle.
With more time it may prove quite interesting here.
