West Dorset, April 12

On a nice afternoon walk today, I found a lovely selection of warblers in a forest near the village of Chetnole, with dozens of willow warblers, chiffchaffs and blackcaps all in a little stretch of woodland. To add to that, three great spotted woodpeckers and two collared doves. Back at Hilfield, I found another willow warbler and several treecreepers.
