Cromwell Bottom

A very productive session starting at approx 1005 hrs and ending with an annual gem. Let's start on a negative note; there were no hirundines or aplumdi, apodiodi Swift.

Grey Heron, Coot, Moorhen, Dullards. Garden Warbler was a notable bird of the day with 4 singing males, 3 of them seen. 5 Blackcap, 6 Chiffchaff, 3 WW, GSW.

Certainly 2, possibly 3 Reed Warbler were singing and just before I left I picked up a loud singing Warbler I've not had in this region for years. A Lesser Whitethroat was blasting out from one of the mature trees contrasting the 2 Whitethroat I got singing from the scrubby patches.
