Pett Level birds
25th August 2006, FridayThe bushes around Toot Rock are a good place to look for warblers - there are Common & Lesser Whitethroats, Blackcaps, Garden & Willow Warblers to be seen, especially among the Elder berries, and also a Redstart.
Jays, which once rarely appeared on the Toot, seem to have nested there and can be heard squawking in the gardens where trees have now grown up.
Overhead this morning, Sand Martins & Yellow Wagtails were flying west while 2 Tree Pipits and a Grey Wagtail flew east.
Yesterday evening as the rain cleared, low sunlight lit the Starling flock golden against the dark sky while it projected their thousand dots of shadow onto the grass of the seawall.
