Date: 28th May 2025
Time: from 6:15 a.m.
Weather: dry, sunny, moderate/strong wind, 14°C to 15°C
There have been strong winds for the last few days and again this morning and this is not conducive to finding and photographing butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies.
Therefore, I had another early visit this morning in the hope of seeing Red Fox cubs. Yet again, I was unsuccessful and it seems like it will be a blank year for at least seeing very young cubs recently emerged from the den. Adult Red Foxes are also proving to be elusive during my daytime visits although I am seeing them on my evening visits.
The highlights during my visit were as follows:
Common Whitethroat: after recording my
first singing male of the year during my last visit on 23rd May 2025, I again heard presumably the same bird singing distantly in the
paddock in the northern section of the site
Chiffchaff: 3 singing males (1 seen)
Blackcap: 4 singing males (none seen)
Great Spotted Woodpecker: 1 heard calling in the woodland in the southern section of the site
Green Woodpecker: 1 heard calling in the woodland in the southern section of the site
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
Common Whitethroat
