Early morning in the Magic Garden and there were signs of movement
with at least half a dozen Blackcaps ‘takking’ away and lots of Chiffchaffs in
the scrub. This little boggy area was particularly attractive…
Standing here I saw Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Blackcap,
Garden Warbler and at least three Sedge Warblers. The most I’ve seen together in
the village.
I also saw my first Common Darters of the year here and
Brown, Migrant and Southern Hawkers.
On the flood pools in the bottom field the recent rain had topped
them up and as well as the obligatory Green Sandpipers (which have been seen
every day since late June) there were two Greenshank. Unfortunately this was
the best shot I managed for this exceptionally nervous bird.
Last night I walked along the river, it was very quiet but I
did find a young Coot, a rare bird in the parish and my 108th
species of the year.
