Dailie Fields, Warblers paradise

The old railway station, warbler country.

The new hawthorns, a haven for song birds



Willow Warbler

A quick lunchtime dash to the Dailie fields today in sunshine and shower conditions suprised me how the new hawthorns planted down the hillside have come on. Most are packed with bloom meaning a good harvest of winter berries this autumn for the winter thrushes.
Several linnets were on the usual gorse area which is thick and safe from preditors and the hawthorns held Willow Warblers, Blackcap and Garden Warbler which were easily found in 15 minutes down there. LBB gulls were overhead along with several Swallows
Well worth a look down there Howard,(HC) , if you havent been down for a while you,ll be amazed. Howard and me cut our first teeth down the station on railway sleepers, happy days.

5 Willow Warblers
1f Blackcap
1 Garden Warbler

2 Grey Partridge
5 LBB Gulls..............>W
