Christine's walking & birds blog

There were at least two garden warblers on the site this morning.

Over a period of a few minutes, this small tree held various permutations of two garden warblers, a wren, a dunnock, a sedge warbler and four greenfinches.

There were fewer terns, and I looked at them all carefully having apparently missed Arctics yesterday.

A lesser whitethroat was rattling and there were two wheatears behind Monument Hill.

There were clouds of midges over the stream on the edge of Dorney Common, and swallows and swifts were swooping low to hoover them up.
