This footpath just south of the village and running east west does more often than not produce a few nice birds despite it being quite close to the village and mainly arable farmland, although the sewage treatment works and stream obviously help.
I walked along the footpath but it was quieter than the other day but three Spotted Flycatcher were rather nice and I saw my second Willow Tit of the year. There were no wagtails at all on the sewage filter beds, which is most unusual, particularly as there appeared to be no one on site. I did find a couple of roving tit flocks but they kept to the tops of the trees and seemed more intent on moving rather than feeding and many went unidentified. There were certainly Blue and Great Tits in both parties and Long-tailed Tits in the first and both the Willow and Marsh were amongst the second flock. A Grey Wagtail did fly over calling but I failed to see it and another good bird was a Great Spotted Woodpecker.
