Birds in the Nest

On Tuesday 29th September, at around 2pm, in a rain soaked Sparrows Nest with mizzly rain, birds were hard to come by, a Pied Flycatcher suddenly appeared in the sycamores above the bowling green and perched in full view for sometime albeit in appalling light, it flicked right and then by the top loop track a Chiff- Chaff was seen and what was almsot certainly the Yellow- browed Warbler flew in smaller and white below, it then started calling continuosly for about a minute but we couldn't see it was in the very top of a tree which couldn't quite be viewed either from the top loop track or the sloping path cutting through underneath. It or the same bird briefly called from behind the museum but we couldn't see that either. Walking up to the very top of the park, by the entrance just to the right, a fine Redstart flew up showing its reddish tail in all its finery before it was gone. No other birds seen in the rapidly dafling light.
