Around 30 people made up the group this morning for the Dawn Chorus and included Tony Rayners group that joined us on the marsh.
A somewhat subdued marsh this morning with mainly Sedge Warbler in song and a single Grasshopper Warbler reeling away.
Later good numbers of Reed Warbler singing with approx. 8, and several Common Whitethroat, Blackcap and Chiffchaff and 2 Cetti’s Warbler making up the numbers.
A rather showy Song Thrush singing for some time enabling a few to take photos.
A fly through Kingfisher, a single Swallow, Kestrel, 2 Stock Dove, a Tawny Owl and Grey Heron were all seen/heard but the Cuckoo was conspicuous in its absence!
By around 07:30 most had decided to call it a day so Alan and myself decided to do another circuit added a few more to the morning’s list with Great-crested Grebe, Green Woodpecker, Jackdaw and Swift taking the total up to 47.
