Wyre Forest Morning Visit

This morning myself and Mike-PCC left early and arrived at the Wyre Forest at 7:15am.  It was another cold morning but this time without a frost.  However, again it was very quiet bird singing-wise.  It was not until about 8:00am that most birds were really singing and by then it was not long before we found our first Wood Warbler.

After an hour of searching and coming across more Wood Warblers, a pair of Mandarin and a Cuckoo, we eventually found a singing Redstart at the old orchard.  We then found a Tree Pipit on our way back to the car as well as more Wood Warblers, a Bullfinch and Marsh Tits but could not find the Dipper along Dowles Brook.

On our way home, we popped by Upton Warren, where we saw our first Garden Warblers of the year, House Martin, two Lesser Whitethroat and Sedge Warblers.
