Early resident birds have already had one brood by now and the likes of Song Thrush, Blackbird, Robins and Sparrows will be probably on their second by now and Reed Buntings will be doing likewise. The tell tale signs of increased singing and risky sitting on reed tops is a give away that territories are being reaffirmed and more sprogs are on the way!

Reed and Sedge Warbler chicks have been seen and the continued presence of Cuckoos suggests that there may well be a few nests with slightly oversized single occupants by now....
