At Westfield Pill itself, it was good to see many of the usual birds there, including Nuthatches, Blackcaps, Chiffchaffs, three Kinds of Tit, both Song Thrush and Mistle Thrush, a Jay, a Great Spotted Woodpecker and a singing Reed Warbler.

Westfield Pill and surrounding area
The fascinating scene of a very agitated Spotted Flycatcher, (just beyond Westfield Pill in the Rosemarket direction), persistently dive-bombing two Magpies was the highlight of a bird-rich morning today. One of the Magpies chased after the flycatcher more than once, but the feisty little bird was not to be put off, and continued the dive-bombing until the Magpies had moved further down the path. It then returned to fly-catching until it was suddenly knocked off it's perch by another Spotted Flycatcher.

Earlier in the week, I was pleased to see and hear Yellowhammer's again on a visit to Hasguard Cross and Talbenny, as well as this bird, which was part of a pair at Horton, between Neyland and Rosemarket.
