Barns And Thursley Commons

Today me and my mate Bob decided to try for the Firecrest on Barns common I met him there and we spent 3 hours we had good views of 3 birds 1 north of the station and 2 south of the station.

We then decide to have a look at Thursley Common we walked out to Shrike hill where we had Woodlark (20+ birds) we then walked back to the car talking to another birder as we got near the car the birder found the Great Grey Shrike on the top of a tree in the distance, From here we drove back towards the A3 and parked in a layby and walked on to the common from here we spent some time here looking for Dartford Warbler we had brief views of 2 birds, What was surprising we did not see any Stonechats. So back to the car and homeward bound, A very pleasant days birding
