BIRD GROUP MEETING, MILL GREEN WOODS,
11TH JUNE, 1989
Eleven members attended this annual meeting and
for once the weather was kind to us. Unfor-
tunately we did not see the Little Owl which
had been present in recent years, perhaps
because its usual tree had been damaged, but
more surprisingly, the Tree Pipits, which have
been present for many years on the common, were
also missing.
Only 22 species were recorded in walking from
the Green to The Viper and back, and these
included Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Wood Warbler,
Jay, Tree Creeper, Bullfinch, Chaffinch,
Greenfinch, Yellowhammer, Swallow and House
Martin.
Red Admiral, Speckled Wood, Brimstone, Large
White and Meadow Brown butterflies were seen
and items of botanical interest noted were
Common Cow Wheat, Heath Bedstraw, Wavy Hair
Grass, Hairy Woodrush, Common Tormentil, Pignut
and Lesser Stitchwort.
Members then adjourned to the Parish Rooms for
the Group A.G.M., the first to be held without
the guiding hand of our late Chairman, Michael
