I had a few walks through Franchises Wood in the winter and found it a bit devoid of bird life. This isn't the case at the moment. I ran through there this evening and the wildlife was of such quality that i was soon regretting not bringing bins and camera.
There were Kestrels and Cuckoos on the edge of the wood, a superb singing Grey Wagtail and the biggest concentration of butterflies I've seen yet this year. I heard and subsequently saw a group of 4 Crossbills fly overhead and then refound the 2 singing Wood Warblers I'd noticed yesterday. A dozen Fallow Deer and another Wood Warbler later, I emerged out of the wood and returned to Nomansland via Bramshaw Wood where a Marsh Tit and a very angry Green Woodpecker escorted me home.
