Thursday 17th June 2010 - Shenstone

3 families of Common Whitethroat have successful fledged chicks around Shenstone now. The highlight of this being an adult seen fly catching and feeding 3 juvenile birds in a hedgerow on Heath Lane. A ♂ Reed Bunting was seen at Back Lane, as were a ♀ Kestrel and a Common Buzzard.

A small number of Large Skipper butterflies were seen along Butts Lane, as was a single Small Tortoiseshell. Small White butterflies were more numerous around the area. A Comma and a single Large White was seen along Stanklyn Lane.
