Withnell to White Coppice

Mistle Thrush on the cricket field and green Hairstreak in the Clough near the Goit at White Coppice. Tree creeper, and usual small birds around, no Wood Warbler. Lots of Wood So...

Withnell fell
A short walk up there this morning produced several sightings of Small Heath butterflies but still not any Green Hairstreak. Think the cold winter must have wiped out the colony here. Peregrine seen. Cuckoo heard.

Wood Warbler, or not!
A walk today past Ratten Clough produced Cuckoo and Wheatear but no Ring Ouzel. Brinscall woods (carpeted with bluebells) was disappointing re Wood Warbler. Went to where (l think) Dave heard one, no joy. Went to the area along the main path from the White Coppice end of the wood but nothing there e...

Wheelton plantation
A walk around Ratten Clough produced Wheatear and Cuckoo but no Ring Ouzel. Brinscall woods disappointed re Wood Warbler, looked where the sighting was earlier in the week and in the area where the conifers end, along the main track from the White Coppice end but no joy.

Re: Swifts Brinscall
I saw that sighting of swifts on the 19th . Amazing sight. They screamed through my Withnell garden barely above roof height. A friend who knows suggested it was either adults flying before the rain as insects gather then, or juveniles gathering. Whatevet a marvellous sight. Gone back to the regular...

Re: Green Hairstreaks
Where the hairstreaks in the little clough on the opposite side of the goit and a bit further east than the peacock house?
