Wind still blowing and dull, we live in hope.
Heard of a GREENISH WARBLER at the above in what was said to be the North West end. However info on the twitter said East, so at 10:30 am I was in place finding seven other people trying to find this very elusive bird. I was told that it had been singing and within a few minuets I had not only heard it but glimpsed it, but to say I had viewed it is far from the truth. But I did see it four times in all and only for a few seconds each time. It held good cover in the blackthorn and you had to be careful in the wind not to mistake the bird as there was other stuff flitting about. I managed to find BLACKCAP, COMMON WHITETHROAT, CHIFFCHAFF, BLUE TIT, GREAT TIT. SWIFT flying and very active with just one JAY.
What I found interesting was the very distinctive call, I was surprised at how it could be heard especially in the strong wind. It could be heard 50 feet away and for some who were viewing it was a learning curve which I helped to turn.
