Comments
(I was in the park yesterday morning as well but found nothing to report, as it had turned into a SE monsoon by 07.00.)
Northern Wheatear 1f in Open Spaces, area 37 at 07.55 (same as two days ago).
Reed Bunting 1m singing in Wetland Pen at 07.34. By 07.41 it was singing near the top of its favourite shrub (the location of which is described in this blog's Comments section for 22nd April).
Willow Warbler 2: areas 31 and 34.
In the Cricket Pen, area 31, a Chiffchaff was seen near the ground in the elm thicket while 'Geoff' was singing in area 32. Again no luck, however, with the Common Whitethroat, nor with the Lesser Whitethroat seen and heard by Dave on in the Cricket Pen on 23/24 April.
