RSPB Broadwater Warren
with Kevin
As a follow up to the East Grinstead RSPB group visit to Broadwater Warren nearly 2 weeks ago I arranged to meet Kevin on site for an early morning search for Dartford Warblers. Previously we were unlucky as none showed during our tour of the reserve. Weather conditions were ideal with bright sunshine and very little wind.
- Things got off to a quiet start but we persevered in the area where Kevin knew the warblers to be and after 30 minutes or so we got our reward when one flew from behind us into the scrub a few metres away before dropping out of sight.
- Another 30 minutes passed before we saw any more but this time the views were for much longer and involved 2 Dartford Warblers - a male and a female - having fun as they flew by the path a few metres from us.
- Feeling rather proud of ourselves we then moved round the site taking in the regular birds - Yellowhammers being the pick of the bunch for me. Alas, still no success with Tree Pipits.
Thanks Kevin - spot on!
