9/4/20 Wharncliffe Chase (north) / woodland fringe

A late afternoon stroll along the Chase/woodland fringe. Migrants song were less prevalent but the commoner woodland species showed well and their status seems healthy.

Swallow 1 sat on wires by traditional nest site, Blackcap 1, Chiffchaff 1, Willow Warbler 5 (1 of each of these sang from the same small clump of bushes near res), Nuthatch 20+, Great Tit 40+, Coal Tit 20+, Blue Tit 50+, Long-tailed Tit 10+, Treecreeper 7, Kestrel, Sparrowhawk, Buzzard 4

Also Grey Squirrels were abundant with over 30 seen with 7 in one tree alone.
