25.6.14: Possible Woodlark (noticeable crest, and plumage, stocky build right - seen in bush, NW Quarry. Rather suspect it is on passage, like the Tree Pipit I saw 2 years ago. Without a mate it will move on, either south to Kirkby Moor or north to Scotton Common/Laughton Forest/Crowle Moor. That's my theory anyway.), Lesser Whitethroat(2), Willow Warbler, Goldfinch, Greenfinch(2),Long tailed Tit, Reed Bunting(3), House Martin(2), Swallow, Magpie(3), Wood Pigeon, Jackdaw(30+), Kestrel. Audible only: Willow Warbler(2 or 3), Chifchaff, Blackcap, Mistle Thrush, Blackbird, Wren, Meadow Pipit. Also: Butterflies - Ringlet(50+), Meadow Brown(30+), Large Skipper(3), Small Skipper(2), Small Heath(6), Speckled Wood, Red Admiral, Small Tortoiseshell(3). |

Visited Greetwell Hollow for the first time this morning while my car was being serviced nearby. Very pleasant in the sun and lots to see. I saw much of what Aidan has listed but unfortunately missed the Wood Lark and the Lesser Whitethroat. Did see 6 Magpie, 2 Yellowhammer and a Green Woodpecker. About 15 Sand Martins were visiting holes in the NE quarry wall. There were lots of Ringlet and "Brown" butterflies plus 3 Common Blues. Plenty of Birds Foot Trefoil about for the Blues. Also saw 6 Bee Orchids though they were past their best Cheers Colin |
