A nice morning walk with my children started with a Jay at Ted Heath, which flew off quickly, much to the disappointment of my little girl. She made up for it by finding a male Pheasant along the western edge of Big Wood School Field, which turned out to be first one this month recorded in our 10km square on BirdTrack - obviously a notable record!
After a play in the Adventure Playground, we headed down to the Khalsa Wood, which was quiet enough to produce a Coal Tit, a Treecreeper, and a Nuthatch. The skies were overcast, but a very yellow-coloured warbler resembling a Chiffchaff/Willow Warbler caught my attention as it called from a tree top behind the Khalsa Wood. Noting a mental description and looking it up when we got back, confirmed my first juvenile Willow Warbler.
