A morning leisurely wander around the Common produced two juvenile male Redstarts, plus a couple of Stonechats, and a Hobby. Seems to be a good inland passage year for Redstarts in the Home Counties.

The afternnon, maybe inspired by the Redstarts in the morning, I dragged myself out again over to Warren Farm Sports Centre, Southall, where last time I recall passing by there it was a looked after centre with laid out football pitches, but instread the buidling are boarded up, the place run down full of graffiti and horses graze the once neat and tidy football pitches. The old tarmaced sports area was full of over 200 burnt out large whelley bins and one of the long jump pits, had gained a health bee population (at least one plus). Somehow a Wryneck found its shelf here between the burnt out whelley bins and derelict buidlings.
