Parched

Reed Warbler

Whitethroat

Lesser Whitethroat

Common Frog

The lack of rain in recent weeks has resulted in an unprecedented stampede of unusual birds to visit the garden pond and other water features in the garden. The Magpie & Great Spotted Woodpecker aren't that unusual I suppose, but we've had our first ever Reed Warbler in 42 years of garden observations last week, and since then we've had a pair of Whitethroats and even a Lesser Whitethroat popped in this afternoon. Please keep your garden water filled up and fresh, as our wildlife benefit hugely from this, and if you enjoy watching your garden wildlife, you will benefit too!
