Morning walk from Arley Road along the path to Hollins Lane Antrobus and returned via the same route.

3 Buzzards, 2 singing Yellowhammers (1 singing from the top of a large Ash), 3 Oystercatchers, 1 Nuthatch

and a family group of 5 Blackcaps.

Surprisingly absent were Common Whitethroats which I have had no difficulty in finding here on previous summer visits.

Nearby Parkmoss Wood (Woodland Trust) produced a singing Chiffchaff and another Buzzard.

House Martins starting to nest
A Cuckoo calling from farmland close to the Hall gardens was first of year for me.

A walk from the walker's car park near the hall produced 100's of Fieldfares and Redwings in several flocks, but the highlight was a Green Sandpiper on a stream along Lodge Lane, near Crowley Lodge
