| Re: New Forest Wander
Sounds like a superb day out in the country. Don't think I can hear Long-winged Coneheads anymore ( I could 3/4 years ago!), but can hear Dark + Roesel's BC well still. Found a brown form of LW Conehead near where I live in Greenford today, previously I've only seen green forms + these are now common in grassland around London.
This morning went to Wormwood Scrubs for migrants + saw pair of Whinchats, Spotted Flycatcher in White Willow, c15 Whitethroat, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Blackcap, hunting Sparrowhawk + a delightful charm of c.50 Goldfinches.
Roesel's BC were beginning to sing + there were mini swarms of Horse Chestnut Leafminers around said trees + sadly causing devastation of the trees! |
