An evening walk brought a medley of sounds: the growling of three airborne shelduck, the shriek of a parakeet hurtling over. A chiffchaff and a willow warbler sang high in willows, and two garden warblers competed unseen in the scrub. Whitethroat, song thrush and dunnock added their two penn'orth - and several times came the explosive "Now here-ere I am again!" of a Cetti's warbler.

As I left, swifts were screaming overhead and a redshank's "te-heu-heu" rang out on the still evening air.
