Billa Barra Hill

Lots of migrant movement on the East Coast combinded with a glut of local Whinchat and a Redstart prompted a visit to Billa Barra Hill at lunchtime. Not exactly Walsey Hills but only around the corner from work. Despite numerous resolutions to make a visit to this local NR, I never have. What a great place though. If time allows then I will be back again and again between now and autumn. 4 Spotted Flycatcher (all seemingly adults) and Willow Tit were the highlights. The 'belt' around the hill was jam packed with Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs, Whitethroats and Goldcrest. Blackcaps were also noted (strangely all females) I'm sure I must have missed something during this brief visit........
