I went out for a walk along
the footpath to the south of Greta Glen then west along the Grand Union Canal
towpath from Newton Harcourt.
The walk from Great Gland
produced nice views of a Sparrowhawk, a Green Woodpecker flying low over a
field, a single Swallow, a Chiffchaff, a female Blackcap and a
Whitethroat. There was also two adult
and an immature Grey Wagtail on the filter beds at the sewage works.
The walk along the canal is
slightly longer and I found at two adult Spotted Flycatchers feeding a young
and another adult at a second location.
Five Raven also flew over the canal as I reached the turning point of
the walk, which was the first time I had seen them in the area. Nine Swallow were observed as I started the
walk and a I saw a single male Blackcap and a Treecreeper, where I was certain
I could hear more Spotted Flycatchers but couldn’t locate them in the small
copse.
Insects were not prolific but
I did see several species of butterfly, dragonflies and moths.
