Spring Chorus and Warbler walk 17 May 2025

We are extremely grateful to the very knowledgeable Simon Jones for leading this walk.

We met at the usual meeting place on the causeway. 7 of us joined the walk on this

somewhat dull day.

From the causeway looking over the lake we could swifts circling . Loud calls of the

blackcaps were heard on the causeway. Moving on into the reserve, we immediately heard a

cetti’s warbler, dunnocks and a great spotted woodpecker.

The call of the reed warblers were a delight, as was the sighting of a pair of these lovely

song birds. The common terns were jostling for space with the black headed gulls. A pair of

terns were busy mating and ignoring all other commotion of the gulls. A cuckoo was heard

too.

Lots of songbirds heard but not seen.
