Two first summer males visited Littleton-upon-Severn brickworks in the second week of June and remained in the area for at least three weeks being seen or heard, usually in Withey trees. Brief views obtained and the characteristic 'weela-weeo' call was heard, probably from both birds on June 26th while on 27th they were seen extremely well in adjoining hedgerow trees. Conclusive evidence was gained on June 29th that both were, in fact, giving the whistling call. The birds were first noticed by brickwork's employees on June 11th and last seen on July 2nd.
