5th April 2009

B90 had a quick walk round Engine Pool at around 8:45 am and had a Willow Warbler singing in the second garden east of the Wood Lane allotments, as well as a Swallow over the Hungry Horse fields.
John Yardley went during the afternoon and, although human disturbance was high, managed 3 Chiffchaffs, 5 Nuthatches and 2 Treecreepers; and also a possible Willow Warbler (high up, not singing) along the southern side of Windmill Pool by the benches.
A Common Tern was apparently seen elsewhere in Warwickshire today, so this species could well be the next migrant to be seen at Earlswood.
