Finally ! A Warbler

And not the hoped for Sedge Warbler , which seems strangely absent from Lodge Lake this year ? In a full visit last week I counted 10 Reed Warbler territories , 3 Common Whitethroats , 2 Garden Warblers and 9 Blackcaps singing. 3 COMMON TERNS were present on the lake last night , but didn't hang around ! These are the first there this year ! Best of all today , I finally found a singing LESSER WHITETHROAT (YT - 78) in Bancroft Park , 3 Common Whitethroats, 3 Chiffchaffs and 1 Garden Warbler also heard. Swifts are now numbering upwards of 10 over my house and I saw nearly 40 in my journey through the Bancroft section of the patch today. Only easy one left is Sedge , which is really not easy !! Si
