Dawn chorus walk proves a hoot

Posted on May 21, 2013May 21, 2013 by staff

Early risers were rewarded with a fascinating selection of bird songs and sightings during their dawn walk round Fosse Meadows last Saturday.

Led by experienced volunteer ranger, David Mitchell, the group of intrepid birdwatchers spotted 31 species and heard the songs of a further 7 before going home for breakfast.

The list of birds included blackcap, whitethroat, yellowhammer, willow warbler and bullfinch as well as the ever popular robin, blackbird and wren.

Two more unexpected sightings were a tawny owl in a kestrel’s nest box and a green woodpecker perched on the side of a telephone pole nearby.
