Do we have a pair of breeding garden warbler?
4th June 15 dawn till early mid section
sunny,warm later, 6-14°c, 1026mb, SW 2mph
Apart from more bird music which is what I was expecting and hoping for there were some surprises. The first was a flock of 30+ lesser-black-back gulls on the Compton Playing Field which as one would expect disappeared when the first human turned up. Also the local buzzard was there searching for worms.
I found a warbler feeding young deep inside a bush which could be a garden warbler? if so its the first since 1997 but I need a better look if possible.
The Wetland mallard still has 3 chicks, wonder if or when she will take them to the canal.
