A minimum of four Tree Pipits were singing and displaying in Minwear Woods this morning - three in a large clearing, and a further one near the picnic area adjacent to the road. I also encountered at least three Marsh Tits in the woods near the clearing, and there were a good number of Willow Warblers and Blackcaps, along with Mistle Thrushes, Coal Tits and various other birds.
Yesterday at South Hook, it was good to hear a singing Lesser Whitethroat.
