Wednesday 7th May
Another beautiful day: warm, sunny and calm.
Very little on the floods this morning: 9 mute swans and 1 grey heron and a few miscellaneous ducks. We're just waiting for the next passage wader to drop in.
In Burgess Field: the usual warblers present: whitethroat, garden warbler, sedge warbler, blackcap, willow warbler were either seen or heard this morning. Also lots of green finches and linnets around. It's interesting how even at 7:30am the warbler song has quietened down. I imagine that all the singing is going on at dawn now.
