Wednesday 22nd April: Common Tern & Whitethroat
Yet another glorious day with early mist soon burnt off.
All quiet on the floods again today with just a pair of COMMON TERNS doing a couple of circuits as the highlight. There were also a couple of grey herons hunting in the flood waters and the first brood of mallard ducklings was out and about.
In Burgess Field all the warblers were warbling with a WHITETHROAT singing near to the gate. The CETTI'S was still about and all the other warblers could be heard as well. We're now just waiting for garden warbler to complete the "set".
Finally the whitethroats have arrived at Burgess Field © Adam Hartley
