The Desert, The Moat and Trapping area held very few Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps and Common Whitethroats and nothing notable was seen.
As Burrowes was being disturbed today by essential clearance work, I decided to walk out the back of Scotney, apart from several 100s of Swallows, a few Yellow Wagtails, 2 Wheatears and 2 Corn Buntings very little was seen here.
