Again, no sign 0800-1000hrs today despite a wider search. Singles of Blackcap and Grey Wagtail were the best I managed.
No sign of any YBW this morning, and only 1 Goldcrest between the bridges. Seemed to be a scattering of Goldcrests elsewhere though so it may still be in the area. Also, 1 Treecreeper (my first here in several years), 2 Grey Wagtails, 3 Song Thrush, 1 Bullfinch and 2 GSWoodpeckers.
1 YBW Warbler still present 1100-1300hrs, showing well but infrequetly. Also the Siberian Chiffchaff seen/heard briefly in the vegetation west of the stream.
One still present this morning at 10:30, though it was elusive in the cold wind. Seemed to be associating with Long-tailed Tit flock.
One showing very well this morning between 9.00 & 10.00am even feeding amongst the leaf litter on the ground, seemed to like the company of a goldcrest.
Two birds present at around midday today.
One Yellow-Browed Warbler showing quite well again today , very mobile . between 12.30 and 2.15 . Also several gold crests , Long Tailed Tits , Wrens and a white speckled Black Bird.

1 YBW still showing well at midday today between the 2 bridges.
One YBW present on and off during the morning until 13:30 - usual location. Very mobile once again, making good photographs a bit of a challenge!
YBW Warbler still present yesterday,associating with Blue Tits and a Gold crest, between the two bridges and flitting back and forth at the top of the coppiced pussy willows along the stream. I was about to give up after a 45mins search when two fellow birders spotted it.Many thanks to the chap from Bristol who called me over as i was about to leave.This really is an excellent habitat in the depths of yeovil.
1 YBW still present this morning between bridges. Was elusive to begin with but showed well 0845-0900hrs.
At least 1 Yellow-browed Warbler still present this morning (10:30am) favouring the bushes and scrub near the stream in the usual area, several Goldcrests and 1 Chiffchaff also present
Both YBW showing very well again this morning in the long awaited sunshine that I have been hoping for all week. Siberian Chiffchaff also present on and off during the morning plus at least one visit by a Firecrest, probably the same one sighted here last week. All in all, a nice early Christmas present. Merry Christmas to one and all.
Both YBWs showing extremely well today, one even fed on the ground about 3 metres away. Only other birds of note were 3 male bullfinch.
Bernie, Thanks for the info, I’ll go and have a look! Cliff
