2 May 2026



I walked around the Red course this morning.  It was good to hear lots of birdsong.  The warblers were particularly vocal.  At the side of the 5th hole I heard Lesser Whitethroat, Garden Warblers and Blackcap.  Sadly the Lesser Whitethroat was elusive, but it was good to see a pair of Garden Warblers.  I usually see these to the right of the 13th hole but this pair seem to be nesting on the 5th.

Plenty of plants in the light rough at the moment.  Sheep's Sorrel gives the rusty colour on much of the Red and Green courses.

Field Mouse-Ear also grows on the Red and Green courses and is very common at Frilford, but quite rare elsewhere.
