This is getting hectic! Up Elan first ,hoping yet again to hear a Wood Warb-no chance! If there are any as reported , they escaped me and another seeker ,Mr Riddle! Whatever is going on? Trevor reports a lack of same in typical haunts in Somerset and I tried again today round L’dod Lake…nothing. 2 Whinchats nr Hirnant , Redstarts in Cnwch etc. 3 Wheatears and 2 Stonechats towards Pont ar Elan and beyond-too many bikes/cars etc. Rhogo has 3 pairs of Wheatears ,Redstarts and Stonechats plus the Willow Warb atop his fav Hawthorn by the distant grid. Finally , Buzz and Kite fighting over a rabbit carcass by the old quarry car park.

Hi Kev,
if you search Somerset Birding Forum – sightings – Quantocks you will see further thoughts on Wood Warblers and conifers. I’m not sure about the suggestion that the additional ground cover in Quantocks conifers is better for nesting.
The Quantocks and Radnor oak woods seem to have little ground cover but other warbler species which I understand nest on or near the ground seem to be doing ok.
One has been singing
Sorry about that…. It’s a sedge warbler… Unfortunately not a wood warbler…. Which is still nice.
