It was a locked in lockdown day due to heavy rain for most of yesterday so I was very pleased to get out again today.
Although it was relatively cold, I still managed to spot a single rather lethargic Speckled Wood trying to warm up in the weak sunshine.
After hearing my first singing male Lesser Whitethroat of the year for the site during my visit on 25th April 2020, today I heard and then saw another at a different location.
I also managed to see a singing Chiffchaff and hear 3 others plus I heard 3 singing Blackcaps.
In addition, I saw a female Sparrowhawk rapidly fly across the wide grassy track between St. Nicholas Church and St. Nicholas Lane.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
Lesser Whitehtroat
Blackcap
Chiffchaff
Blue Tit
Great Tit
Long-tailed Tit
Robin
Dunnock
Wren
Blackbird
Jay
Magpie
Woodpigeon
