After weeks of waiting and only one of each species present on Friday this morning saw wall to wall Whitethroats and Sedge Warblers. At least six territorries of each up the range bridleway and a similar number along the bumpy road plus three or four Groppers and numerous Willow Warblers.
Notwithstanding all the singing the Whitethroats were obviously straight down to nest building with this bird repeatedly returning to this branch then down onto the ground nearby.
Sedge Warblers perching nicely on occasion although the shrubery in this instance got in the way of the composition.
the pair of Redstarts just choose to tease me. I'll get them yet!
Its great to see them return. Cant wait to walk the bridle path, watch and listen.
