Thurs 18th April 24

A lovely morning for a walk around the bushes, Cetti's Warblers seem to be everywhere, lots of Lesser Whitethroats around, 2 Willow Warbler at the top of the carpark and several Whitethroat on the mounds. A Swallow was on the wires at the back of the sluice and 6 Turnstone on the sluice it's self.

Richard had earlier had the 2 Egyptian Geese over the road and a close encounter with one of the Lesser Whitethroats in the Dell
