Deer Park / Martinshaven

Spent a couple of hours in the area this afternoon - primarily looking for Adders, only to find a Slowworm.
Birdwise was a tad disappointing, I was hoping to see more, given the wind direction. A mix of Chiffs & Willow warblers (10) in the willows at the end of Rath cottage + 1 Blackcap. 4 Stonechats, 1 female Merlin, 4 Chough, 2 Swallows & 2 Sandmartins. Still no Wheatears - for me anyway.
