Out West

Mainly sunny, 13°, light NW.

Loren and I had a walk out to the Lees and beyond today. Have not been out there for a while and wanted to check out the “Reedy ditch” as there had been some work done on it over the winter months.

As it was, although the ditch had been thinned out a lot there were still quite a few reedy areas and both Sedge Warbler and Reed Warbler were heard and seen.

5 singing male Reed Bunting, 2 Yellowhammer, Skylarks, Linnets, several Swallow over and 2 House Martin, 3 Yellow Wagtail, a Raven and a Kestrel all noted.

Also Common Whitethroat, Chiffchaff and Blackcap at the Lees.

Butterflies: Brimstone, Large White, Small White, Green-veined White, Orange Tip, Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock.
