Yarner Wood

Yarner Wood

Wednesday 9th June

On a showery, humid morning 10 birders spent some two and a half hours in this fantastic location for woodland birds. A walk over the heath early on brought excellent views of a Yellowhammer, the yellow really shining out in the sunlight. into the woods where the main objective was to see Pied Flycatchers at the nest boxes. We were not disappointed with some very good views of particularly females feeding the young at several boxes. A good number of Willow Warblers were seen together with that special 'leaf warbler', the Wood Warbler with its so distinctive song. The other spot worthy of particular note was that of a Treecreeper.

A good morning enjoyed by all.

Number of species seen: 29
