I love it there, first birds spotted were all firsts for this year,
Swallow, Swift and Cetti's Warbler which is a lifer for me and
what a noise it makes for such a small bird, couldn't get a pic
though as it was very jittery and in deep bushes full of leaves,
also Red Kite was flying overhead and 2 Shovellers that I haven't
seen there before and plenty of Willow Warblers and Tern.
A Grasshopper Warbler was seen there too but not by me as it was
on other side of lake.
Garden was busy with Goldfinch & Chaffinch with a few Dunnock
dropping in and my regular Collared Doves a Kestrel hovering in
back field and a Sparrowhawk flypast and a couple of Blackbirds
and a Jay.

Good early Swift. The Cettis will have been a Sedge, no Cettis round hear, South coast bird.
Good stuff there Dave , including the wierd looking Swallow.
Have a good week.

Deffo a Cetti's Bri, was stood with a few experts and if you go on the Rodley NR site you'll see plenty that have seen it and heard it.
Cheers John it was probably starving after that long flight.
