Willow Warblers

A little flurry of activity this morning brought in our first Willow Warblers, at least three birds singing along the Grand Union south of Kings Lock and another near the boardwalk. There are also a few Blackcaps now singing away, particularly around the main carpark. The Kingfishers have started digging a new nesting tunnel in the most ridiculous and very public place, I fear for this one! The Skylarks are still holding territory as are the Little Ringed Plovers which looks very promising. The only other bird of note today was a rather stunning adult summer Lesser Black-backed Gull in the paddocks.
