Garden warbler and Spotted flycatcher Billinge Hill


Spring used to be my favourite season but not anymore, I just love autumn. There's something really special about a bright, still, sunny morning with blue skies and the trees and bushes full of berries and fruit. An elder tree has chiffchaffs and blackcaps moving around, and suddenly a garden warbler appears. What else might be in there?


I see a dead tree in a distant pine wood and think to myself "That looks good for a flycatcher". So I make my way over to it and sure enough, a spotted flycatcher is sitting on one of the top most branches.



It's great to have somewhere such as this in St. Helens which offers such exciting vismig possibilities. It's a fabulous time of year!
