Nightingales at CWP......

21 Apr - A lovely early morning again, and a wonderful chorus at pit 43 between 7-8 am led by 3 Nightingales, one of which perched in the open several times (1). 8 species of Warbler heard, including my first Garden Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat of the year. Good views in particular of Sedge Warblers (4) together with Blackcap (3) and Chiffchaff (2). Also present - Green and Great Spotted Woodpeckers, Bullfinch and Linnet. A Reed Warbler singing with several Sedge Warblers at pit 68. Photos JM. In the afternoon, 10 Arctic Terns and 5 Yellow Wagtails on a quick check at Farmoor.
