I saw more Willow Warblers today than the whole of last spring a shame they were all camera shy, joining the Willow Warblers were Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps and Wheatears and the stunning male Redstart discovered this afternoon by DW.
On the reserve the Glossy Ibis gave sporadic views on Cooks Pool in between disappearing for long periods into the ditches, 6+ Yellow Wagtails there but I saw no Blue-headed ones. At least 3 Garganey were still present on the hay fields.
