A brief visit to Lodge Lake in Great Holm, Milton Keynes this morning.
Was rewarded with a few bursts of song from a Cetti's Warbler. Also singing were Chiff-Chaff, and Willow Warbler.
This lake, though fairly small, is now looking quite mature with extensive vegetation round the banks, at the Bradwell Lane end. Nice to see one of the Milton Keynes park areas left to grow "wild".
The Cetti's incidentally was initially singing in a fairly untypical manner.. seemed longer and less "explosive" than the typical song. So much so, that I was about to put it down as a "possible" until a classic burst of Cetti's song followed. Will listen to some samples this evening to see if what I heard is a well-documented alternative song.
Something different every day when Birding! |
