Hi Tony,
Only saw one spotted flycatcher in area 39 this morning. Also seen were 2 garden warblers area 40 &34,
12 black caps, 14 chiffchaff (1 singing by the zoo),and 5 willow warblers (2 sub-song,area 39). Rose
Cheers Marc.

It is a privilege to have these graceful little falcons on my doorstep. Watching them interact with each other and other species is something I couldn't have contemplating seeing twenty years ago in London.

Tony
Thanks for that Rose, you should be getting the first Swallows through any day now.
