For me, Spring is finally here when I hear the song of the Willow Warbler.
And today was that day, with an impressive 300 Willow Warblers trapped and ringed at Portland Bird Observatory.
So seeing and hearing several passing through the garden, this afternoon, along with a few Chiffchaffs was lovely to note.
One of the few Chiffchaffs which passed through the garden this afternoon.
And my first Willow Warbler of the year.
And another. All the Willow Warblers gave............
........the briefest of songs as they passed through the garden. Unfortunately I got the direction of this individual totally wrong, as it was feeding and singing in the Cherry Tree.
And here is one of the reasons why my blogs have been very few and far between, as I erect a new fence, build a set steps and create a hard standing for the Picnic Table and BBQ.
