Spent the morning at
Grafham Water, it was nice and sunny with the highlight being great views of a Nightingale in Brambles around the edge
of the lagoons; that was where most of the other action was as well with a
great selection of summer migrants in full song including my first Grasshopper Warbler, Garden Warbler, Whitethroat and Reed Warbler
of the year along with many Blackcaps, Lesser Whitethroats, Sedge Warblers,
Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs and Cetti’s Warblers – it was just like summer!
Other birds included the Red-necked Grebe again off the dam, an adult Little Gull which spent the entire morning on the lagoons, two
latish Bramblings over by Dudney
Creek – with the fine male even starting to give a bit of a sub-song, a Red
Kite, 10 Common Terns on the reservoir, 6+ Yellow Wagtails and a single female
Goldeneye still hanging on.
