Cromwell Bottom

Quieter than expected eg no hirundines and Sand Martin Hotel deserted.
Song Thrush are doing well with 6 birds singing loudly.

Only 1 WW heard ditto Garden Warbler but 4/5 Chiffchaff, Whitethroat and similar Blackcap.
The Reeds produced 1 Little Grebe ditto Reed Bunting and 2 singing  Reed Warler.

It was refreshing to see 5 adventurous young men and a dog camped out with two tents and a burning fire a few yards from the footpath. Now I'm not suggesting the dog started the fire for one minute.

Why this habitat hasn't produced Cettis Warbler yet is a mystery to me. It maybe that the bird police have been suppressing of course.
