Dan had recently spent a bit of time at Long Rock as it was
on the doorstep and I caught up with him today so that he could share some useful
year ticks. Time was limited for me so we concentrated on the Brook to avoid
dog walkers. My first Swifts of the year flew through and like so much this
year appear to be behind schedule.
We spent some time at a favoured spot for Lesser Whitethroat
where the bird was soon picked out by Dan but continued to be reluctant to leave
the undergrowth. Eventually it made a foray to a Birch on our side of the Brook
offering great views and song. Sadly, by the time the Camera was charged he
escaped back to the dark side, however he did put us on to a Garden Warbler
which was unexpected and a great addition to our Long Rock list.
