Chiffchaffs now widely but thinly spread across the patch - Tapenhall (3), Hawford, Porter's Mill (2), Mildenham, Knight's Grove area, Droitwich Woods (2) and Salwarpe (2+).
Flocks of Meadow Pipits passing through in various places - 35 feeding in a small paddock near Chatley.

Water Rails seen at Tapenhall (2) and Hawford (along canal) and heard from Coney Meadow.
A Pipistrelle bat was flying in broad daylight yesterday near Harford Hill - must be starving!
3 Brimstone Butterflies, 3 Small Tortoiseshells and a Red Admiral seen yesterday.
Unfortunately, it appears that a large section of fringing reeds along the canal between Salwarpe and Ladywood has been removed on the towpath side (100 metres or so) over the past week - it looks like the CRT and / or Pamela May Trust are up to the same thing they did last year - I'm just about to contact the CRT to see what's going on.
Willow Warbler just west of Salwarpe village in small plantation.
A singing male Blackcap near Tapenhall this morning was probably an authentic spring migrant as all of the wintering birds appeared to clear out in early March.

Male Lapwing and 2 Yellowhammers near Chatley.
