Ponies to move to South Heath soon

Gary has been asked to move the ponies to south Heath. Not sure when it will be done.  If you are looking them, best have a look there first as it may save some walking.

Spotted flycatchers today

One or two seen near the stables.  Not surprising as this is usual nesting site for them

Dartford today

While looking for the ponies I spotted a Dartford on the eastern boundary with four counties. It was with a whitethroat and stonechats.

This follows seeing two or three yesterday across the boundary from south Heath.

Presumably this is a small dispersion from the current breeding sites to the south west.

Let's hope they recolonise for counties and the reserve
