Home and Flixton Wood.

Home: The day started with the pair of PIED WAG calling for there young, but none turned up. I had already seen one so it looks like they had scarpered already. Either that or the SPARROW HAWK that then flew high over had just enjoyed his full breakfast.
Flixton Wood (Camps Heath): As I was about to set of from the car at Camps Heath I noticed that a small group of four GREENFINCH were challenging each other for a snack at something in the sand and salt mixture that lie at the side of the road. It was obvious that the males were trying to hold onto it but females were gaining access to. Just shows what they need to digest all the stuff they eat. So view with interest the link.     http://youtu.be/xuL47AmHQcs   I had a good view of a GARDEN WARBLER without hearing a thing. It sat and looked at me as I stood still in the wood. I also had to viewable BLACKCAP both male and a fleeting female. CHIFFCHAFF 4 and 1 MISTLE THRUSH and SONG THRUSH. ROBIN and a family of LONG TAILED TITS. I also had a look at the nests of the GREY HERONS but it was impossible to tell how many young are there, but I should imagine there are two nests.
