Location: Greenham Common Western Enclosure

Session: 11-Jul-2019 07:10 to 10:50hrs

Notes: It was mostly a warbler (Blackcap) day today. There was a little more movement around the heath, not much was over-flying though. It is still a bit early for migrants to be moving in numbers, so these are probably quite local. Interestingly no Great Tits on the heath today unlike yesterday’s visit.
