Grasshopper Warbler in the Tame Valley
After recieving a report of a Grasshopper warbler at a site quite off the beaten track in the Tame Valley, I got up there as soon as possible after work yesterday.
The area might have been off the beaten track but it was still getting quite a bit of traffic in the form of joggers and dog walkers.
During a lull in the foot traffic I heard the tell tale sound of a Grasshopper Warbler sounding more like a fishermans reel than a Grasshopper!
The bird showed quite well, if at a distance and I resisted the urge to try and get closer incase I disturbed the bird.
From there a quick visit to Broomey Croft yielded nothing more than one Common Tern over Cliff Pool.
