Decided to go and twitch (find) the Hume's Warbler which has been along the river Tame since January.  It had not been seen when I got there since mid-morning and no one else was around. After much searching and having heard it three times I did find it, very active with Long-tailed Tits.  Impossible to get a photo though on this occasion.

Male and female Goosanders on the river, drake Gadwalls chasing a female and a Gren Woodpecker called.
