Thursdays Wood Warbler was relocated by the
boathouse on Friday and was singing strongly there again today, although on
both days it had packed in for the day by around 8 o’clock. There were new male
Groppers reeling on the Pol and the west bank of Wintersett reservoir yesterday
and today respectively. A Garden Warbler was new for the year yesterday by
Wintersett res, bringing the day total of warblers to 10 species, which is
something of an event. The male Whinchat is still in the Country Park fields today.
A Whimbrel was also there yesterday, with an Arctic Tern on Wintersett res and
a Snipe on the Country Park.
Today the other highlights were 50 Sand
Martins, 150 Swallows and 30 House Martins. 50 Linnets were on the north bank
of Wintersett res, with 11 Goldeneye there and a pair of Shoveler there. A
Nuthatch was also seen in the Willow Wood by the boathouse.
