weekend round up

A fairly quiet week with high pressure dominating. A few warblers still around mainly blackcap and chiffchaff with lesser whitethroat on Friday and common on Saturday. The western border being the place to be.
Otherwise ten cormorant of uniform appearance (maybe none-breeding sub adults, not sure) flying in formation early Friday morning, just after 7am heading north along the valley; and mistle thrushes flying in to feed around the mercano. On Friday 29 came in from the direction of the new houses in groups of 4/5 (one group accompanied by the usual small starling flock). On Saturday 20 came in together from the direction of Tettenhall ridge.  Grey wagtail by the spill weir and goldcrest in the paddock and that's about your lot..
