We had a lovely walk this morning for our event, which was called "What's that warbler". We'd heard five different species before we'd even left the car park, including a grasshopper warbler,. This one was expected to be the most troublesome, as they are fairly quiet, scarce and sing at a pitch that is too high for some people to hear. Garden warblers proved elusive, and blackcaps were much quieter than in recent days, but common whitethroats and willow warblers showed off nicely...as did a lesser whitethroat for a few people.
Of course, we saw other birds too - four marsh harriers, a couple of hobbies, a swallow, for example, and we heard a cuckoo. Many butterflies were around us too, mostly orange-tips and brimstones.
I wonder what guests will see tomorrow?
