Dawn Chorus Warbler

Had a great dawn chorus walk this morning. 16 people turned out at 4:15am to hear the beautiful sounds of the dawn chorus. We arrived in the dark when all that was calling was a robin next to the street light. We walked around Fleet Pond listening to the different species waking up and joining the chorus. The early risers included lots of song thrushes, blackbird, wren and robin. We heard lots of migrants including blackcap, reed warbler, Whitethroat, chiffchaff and willow warbler. We then joined Gary for a ringing demonstration, he was running the CES (Constant Effort Site), he had a Garden Warbler and a Reed Warbler.
