PIED FLYCATCHER in Marlow Bottom garden
I sat down at lunchtime and looked at the back garden - there was a slight break in the weather and a bit of blue sky actually appeared fleetingly. A large flock of tits was moving through the silver birches and oak at the bottom of the garden and into the beech wood that lies adjacent to the property. It comprised Blue, Great, Coal and Long-tailed Tits in quite large numbers, but little else could be picked out other than 2 Willow Warblers and a Nuthatch. At 12:30pm, a female/immature type PIED FLYCATCHER landed in my field of view in a silver birch and promptly disappeared. Slightly disbelieving, I watched the spot and luckily it reappeared and I was able to watch it for a couple of minutes before it moved off with the flock through the wood. This emulates a similar occurrence from 2004 when a fem/imm type Pied Fly was seen in the same silver birch before moving off through the wood in a similar manner (Adam Bassett)
Migrant WOOD WARBLER on Lodge Hill
Warren Claydon discovered a vocal WOOD WARBLER at Lodge Hill this morning.
Take the usual path up from the farm by the road, then turn by the stile near the top heading towards the ridge, and the bird was in the bushes along here.
