    Short afternoon stroll. Very quiet, with few birds singing making it a little hard finding birds amongst the leaf cover. A pair of Pied Fly's were eventually found, several Wood Warblers and a Garden Warbler amongst the more commoner fair.

    Its proberly to do with a few reasons. 1. The lack of coverage away from mainstream birding locations. 2. People opting for the more common Marsh tit when confronted with a difficult decision. 3. Not being aware of the distinctive call. 4. And i dont mean to be controversial, a reluctance to...

    Outside of Dowles and the visitor centre, ive never seen another Birder down there, and ive been recording Moths there weekly during the summer. Throw in the private Woodland and the surrounding area then under watched is certainly the word. I remember reporting Goshawk from there many bygone...

    Sorry if my post seemed like i was trying to start one off, certainly not my intention:t: Marsh and Willow are difficult birds to I.D, and therefore should be open to scrutiny if we are to gain a precise picture of the current status of Willow. Unfortunately, there will be many new Birders that...

    Ive not seen Willow Tit in Wyre up to yet. Have seen Marsh Tit on numerous occasions, but alas no Willows. Having said that, i would bet that they are about. Wyre and its periphery is a massive. How many birders look away from the Dowles Brook area? I think there could also be a case of...

    Wyre is a big place and certain species can be hard to pin down. Theres no reason as to why a Willow Tit has not dispersed into that area and latched on to a local flock of Tits, at this time of year.
