Whixall Moss - Mipits galore

Good Friday morning in Shropshire didn't turn up any major surprises. Warblers are now drifting in and two male Blackcaps were in the hedge near the car park at Venus Pool.






Whixall Moss was alive with Willow Warblers, none of which were posing but with Meadow Pipits busy performing display flights, a golden opportunity to capture them parachuting down or in mid-hover......












More Blackcaps at Colemere and then a drive to Nedge Hill was interrupted by news of something rather special at VP.......!!!
