It has been a few days since I visited this part of my patch close to 'The Arms'. This was to be short late morning to visit to assess how the local Warblers are doing. I especially wanted to see how my Whitethroats were doing, a beautiful and active Warbler species.

Walking north-west of 'The Arms' to the Watton Brook Valley I encountered two
Whitethroat territories, one pair in habitat which has been used for years by this species.

A male
Blackcap and
Chiffchaff were singing in a small patch of woodland whilst a little further along a male
Willow Warbler sang from a roadside hedgerow.
A check of the Watton Brook valley for late migrants produced a single, bright male
Yellowhammer. This species I am sure breeds in nearby hedgerow and visits the lush banks of the brook to collect insect food.
