The recent north, and north-easterly winds has caused some stalling in the arrival of our summer visitors, namely Willow Warblers, a species I have not seen or heard this year yet. I was determined to visit an area where I know suitable habitat comprising young conifer plantations could hold Willow Warblers.
A walk along a woodland ride produced a singing
Woodlark within a large clearing and
Blackcap and
Chiffchaffs were present in fair numbers.

Walking along a belt of Oak trees I was pleased to find a singing
Tree Pipit, a species which breeds on my patch. This was my first Tree Pipit of this year.
I then entered a young conifer plantation and heard 2 singing
Willow Warblers, my target species for the morning.
