Sunday Ramblings - The Brecks
The Lesser Spotted Woodpecker kept plenty of folk waiting at Santon Downham failing to appear by midday despite being heard calling in the woody area by the railway line.
A fly-through Goshawk was a bonus though and a pair of amorous Woodlark flirted by the railway underpass. A pair of Stonechat there were less frenzied.
Other bits and pieces were a Marsh Tit, a couple of Redwing, and the constant calls of flyover Siskin.
Heading back towards home, I stopped off at Dernford Farm Reservoir in search of the Siberian Chiffchaff. Walking adjacent to the railway line opposite the reservoir didn't strike me as prime phyllosc habitat. Grey clouds started to move in.
Heading back on myself, I followed a narrow stream with a scattering of trees and reed.
A Chiffchaff (colybita) sat low on a branch close to the water. Scanning the area with the rain starting to fall, the Sibe appeared, looking pale and calling briefly as it hopped around the sedge. A Cetti's Warbler called nearby.
A brief stop at Wallington scanning the hedgeline where two Corn Bunting and a pair of Stonechat were present.
