Summer has arrived and we've had some sweltering conditions during a heat wave. The birding has generally been, as it is expected to be, quite quiet. However, there are some summer movements of post breeding birds already. There are the inverts to keep us entertained too.
On the 16th I had a walk around the UCV part of the patch and had 7 singing Reed Warblers. It wasn't that long ago we had the first regular territorial males and now there are easily double figures. This year seems especially good, with many singing from new locations/territories.
On the 21st I had a Siskin over the reservoir and a returning Common Sandpiper and yesterday there was a Little Ringed Plover and 2 Common Sandpipers.
