Garden Warbler       ringed: 12/07/2023

Sightings: A single Swift over high south, may have been a couple of others called but unable to find. Not much activity from over-flyers, looks like most of the Jackdaw have finished nesting in the bunkers and even minimal activity from Woodpigeon. The only unusual species were five House Sparrows that flew in from the northeast probably foraging from the colony in Bury’s Bank Road.
