First stop....Broadwater Warren for Tree Pipit.....and failed....however...there were plenty of Willow Warblers around as well as....
Woodlark
There can be no complaints...although hearing the liquid trickle of Willow Warbler is a fabulous thing...the....er.....liquid trickle of a Woodlark....is supreme....as someone sang...what a beautiful noise....
A good number of Yellowhammers were present as well....a Garden Warbler and a Stonechat were of note.
Time being tight it was moving on o'clock.....Withyham church....MG had a Flycatcher there last week....so...a brief stop was in order....
To no avail....the Flycatcher was not Spotted....nor Pied nor anything else....however....a nice venue to stop....a pair of Mistle Thrushes chased a Kestrel....a Sparrowhawk went over....a Garden Warbler was singing a way away...Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Chiffchaff....sunshine....nice...
Last....Old Lodge.....with zero target birds listed....could I possibly get at least one! Eventually....yes....Common Redstart....though it took a while and was only a fleeting glimpse....heard plenty of song though. Whilst I was there I scored a second on the list....Tree Pipit...huzzah....
By this time it was on/off rain....so I offed home....
