Carried
out some bat surveys near Wrexham at dawn on the 9th after which we
popped in briefly to Clunton Coppice where my first Wood Warblers and Tree
Pipits of the year were singing away along with a couple of Redstarts and a
Spotted Flycatcher. A little look at
Venus Pool on the 10th then produced a trio of scarce Shropshire
birds with a Sanderling feeding
around the islands, a Common Tern
hawking over the pools and a sleeping drake Garganey.

This big brute of a Mute Swan was not happy when a dozen other Swans landed on Venus Pool but within five minutes he had driven them all off!
