Dave telephoned to let me know
that he had seen a pair of Willow Tit and two Grey Wagtails from the sewage
works footpath and so I decided to go and have a look.
I heard a Chiffchaff and a
Grey Wagtail as I approached the sewage works but there was no sign of the
wagtails on the filter bed and the only bird I saw was a Reed Bunting. I continued along the path and heard another
Grey Wagtail just before I met Dave coming the other way, who informed me he
had just been watching two on the edge of the stream. I continued on with Dave to where we normally
walked to but there was no sign of the Willow Tits but we did see a couple of
Chiffchaffs. We then walked slowly back
seeing a couple of Buzzards to the south and on reaching the filter beds we saw
a Grey Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, two Meadow Pipits and a couple of Chaffinch on
the beds. Whilst we were watching these
Dave heard the Willow Tits call twice but I couldn't hear them and so we
continued on back towards the road. We
spent quite some time searching the last part of the hedgerow without success,
seeing a Goldcrest and three Bullfinches.
Dave decided to go home while I went back along the path again, although
there was still no sign of the tits but I did have another Buzzard and two
Goldcrest and both Grey Wagtails were on the filter beds as I walked back.
