Warblers and other things - Sankey Valley

Another beautiful morning, another bike ride from Carr Mill Dam to Mucky Mountains at Earlestown.

Warblers singing this morning between 7:00-7:45am were: Reed Warbler 10 (mainly Havannah Flashes), Grasshopper Warbler 1 (Havannah Flashes), Whitethroat 8 (mainly around Penkford / Nine Arches), Blackcap 8, Chiffchaff 10, Willow Warbler 11. Still no Sedge Warbler, but it's easy to miss stuff when you're clattering along at speed on the bike!

Other birds seen today, 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers near Havannah Flashes, Kingfisher Penkford, 5 Sand Martins Penkford, 2 Grey Wagtails near the Ship Inn.
