'Siberian' Chiffchaff keeping low just over half way down the track with four Common Chiffchaffs, also Woodcock and two singing Marsh Tits (Pete Sofley).

Middleton RSPB
Staffs: The Scaup still on New Reedbed Pool plus 100 Lapwing on Jubilee.
Warks: Ten Goldeneyes on Fisher's Mill and 150 Lapwing (RSPB). A Tree Sparrow by the farm was a welcome arrival; it would be great, given the nearby feeding area, if they could be encouraged to breed again (Rob Strong).

LATE NEWS: A ringtail Hen harrier was seen at Whitacre Heath on Saturday 31st, eventually heading off towards Lea Marston. May still be across the Haunch Lane area and worth a look.
