A late post from last weekend, when we went to Waltham Brooks to find a Grasshopper Warbler reeling strongly in mid-morning. It eventually showed very briefly, but was far less cooperative than the Sedge Warbler that was establishing its territory. Orange Tips abounded.
Meanwhile at home we have the fattest Slow Worm I’ve ever seen and the smallest Grass Snake.
An evening walk to the brooks east of us found 8 Reed Warblers, 2 Sedge Warblers and about 5 Cetti’s Warblers on territory (and the foxes over there are less contemptuous of me than our garden pair.
