As it's some while since we visited the common, we decided to try a brief session at a spot that has been quite good for Redpoll in the past. As it turned out there were very few around, and the situation was probably not helped by the fact that an area that usually has shallow water beneath a stand of birch trees was completely dry. The only return for our effort was a Wren and two Goldcrests.
We returned after lunch to try for Dartford Warblers but the wind was strengthening and although we saw two or three none were captured, with one going to the net, but not held, returning in the direction it had come from.
