West Williamston, Carew Cheriton, Milton

 Brief visit to West Williamston this morning. 2 Greenshank heard on opposite shore, also a call from an unseen wader - chew-it - must have been a spotted redshank. 

"Carding Mill Nature Trail" between Carew Cheriton and Milton, aka Firecrest Alley - the sparrowhawk family has been providing hours of entertainment in the neighborhood. A female made an ill-advised foray into the Milton rookery this afternoon. 

Spotted flycatchers have made a late appearance - one in the garden, which could have bred further upstream, and one by the ruined mill in Milton.
