Wolvey has a small wetland area as you enter the village via the sharp bend, it is next to the main road, brook, works and house with wooded grounds. It actually is a very productive area, a good selection of birds, not in large numbers, and also a good selection of butterflies and dragonflies as the summer progresses. It may not look much as you pass by on the road, but is well worth a visit and then just wait and see what turns up.
This evening there was a Kingfisher at the pond, a Reed Bunting pair next building, a Great spotted Woodpecker, Swifts, Swifts and House Martins overhead. A Mistle Thrush was singing along with Song Thrush and Blackbirds. In all I saw 28 bird species, plus many insects.
