Black-tailed godwits, Leighton Moss

Public transport routes and services change and are sometimes axed completely. I'll try to update any changes as soon as I find out about them. Where bus services have been cancelled or renamed I'll strike through the obsolete bus number to mark this change.

Great tit

A garden warbler arrived overnight and has been singing almost non-stop in my garden by Humphrey Park since just after half-five this morning. At one point this afternoon I had both species singing from the bottom of the garden for a few minutes which was an good opportunity to compare and contrast a pair I usually struggle with. The garden warbler's song is more hurried and has more of a hard great tit tone to many of the notes rather than the bubbling liquid tones of the blackcap.

Other than that it's been business as usual with the usual suspects quietly rustling about in the undergrowth and visiting the feeders for brief pit stops, Aside from the goings-on in the conifer at the bottom of the garden I've no idea where anything's nesting but they've obviously got mouths to feed given the inroads they're making on the local greenfly population.
