An early morning at Frolesworth Manor Lake, Leicestershire - August 30, 2012


David and I visited the area for the first time as there was a Pied Flycatcher present yesterday afternoon.
After parking we walked down the track to the lake and saw a male Redstart on the fence before it quickly flew into cover.  We continued past the lake to the area of oaks where the flycatcher had been yesterday.  We spent over an hour in the area but there was no sign of the flycatcher.  There were a couple of Willow Warblers and a single Whitethroat and two Common Terns were observed feeding over the lake before they moved on.

It was quite a nice area with plenty of cover and it will certainly not be the last visit now we know where it is.
