The sound of the sea.....
There were several herring gulls at Dorney Wetlands weir this afternoon. Three of them flew over uttering their melancholy mew which probably drives people who live at the coast mad, but which I don't think I would ever tire of.
This cuckoo was loitering around the boardwalk area, where there were several singing reed warblers.
Five redshanks were on site, which is the most I've seen here for some time; but these are probably "shared" with Dorney Lake. There was no sign of the lesser whitethroat that was singing four days ago; and I think I've missed my chance of seeing or even hearing the grasshopper warbler.// posted by Christine @ 8:58 AM
