A walk along the Bunk line this morning with one of the Diesel locos on the line and a few workers maintaining and checking the rails.
Could not find the Redstart so carried on along to Green lane and very little there. 1 Blackcap and a couple of Chiffchaff so was not expecting much.
On the way back the train and workers had moved back to near Green lane and I just happened to catch a movement in a hedgerow to the north of CSW.
A scan along the hedge found 3 Spotted Flycatcher and a/the Common Redstart about 100m away. All still present when I left.
Further down 2 Common Whitethroat seen, a flyover Yellow Wagtail and Sparrowhawk and that was about it!
Alan had a flyover Peregrine Falcon in the afternoon and the Redstart back where it was on the 2 previous days.
A Coal Tit and Treecreeper in the garden this afternoon.
Butterflies: just a few Whites for me: Alan, Large White, Red Admiral, Peacock and Small Heath.
A few records from Tony Rayner with a Small Copper butterfly, an Orange Swift moth and a Hornet Robberfly recorded.
