Late post for yesterday- 3:30-5pm. Several Common Whitethroats heard in the Meadow field, two seen (1m, 1f). Two Reed Warblers at the Meadow Pond seen briefly. And I *think* I heard a Grasshopper Warbler- are there any insects round there that would make the same sort of sound?

I saw a female/first winter Stonechat in more or less the same spot on 10 Oct. It flew from the fence below the raised bank on the north side of the river on the edge of the old cowfield between the dry weir and the tramline. I lost it in the cowfield. Possibly one knocking around...



You are referring to Stretford Ees and Barfoot Bridge Tim. This is the new tram bridge at Jacksons Boat.
