I had a walk around Torver common and woods near Conniston yesterday, what a great place it is! I had fantastic views of a singing Wood Warbler, the best I've seen for ages. It wasn't even in the canopy, it was just about halfway up the trees, sitting on lower branches singing out in the open. As it sang, it would fly up, and then parachute down to another tree, always at about the same height. I watched it doing a circuit for about 10 minutes. Fantastic bird.
Then near in the campsite near the jetty I had great views of a singing male Pied Flycatcher and a Garden Warbler. Elsewhere on the common, singing Tree Pipits, Redstarts, Cuckoos and a variety of other warblers.
