Today I had a visit to EWT Warley Place which is a 10.1 hectare nature reserve managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust and located just south of Brentwood in Essex.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries this site was the garden of the leading horticulturalist, Ellen Willmott, who planted many plants from all over the world, some of which still survive. In early spring, EWT Warley Place is well known for its flowers, particularly snowdrops, daffodils and crocuses.
EWT Warley Place attracts a wide variety of common woodland birds and there are 2 small hides both of which have bird feeders immediately outside.
During my visit, I recorded the following birds: Nuthatch (at least 3 seen
and others heard calling), Coal Tit (at least 2), Blue Tit (10+),
Great Tit (10+), Robin (2), Wren (1), Blackbird (2), Goldfinch (several
birds heard flying over but not seen), Common Buzzard (1 possibly heard “mewing”
but not seen), Great Spotted Woodpecker (1 heard calling but not
seen), Jackdaw (at least 5), Magpie (1)
In addition, I saw single Grey Squirrels from both the north and south bird hides foraging under the bird feeders.
Here are some photos from my visit to EWT Warley Place ....
