I didn't have a visit to any of my local patch sites this morning but I did walk over to Asda after the weekly Self-Isolating Bird Club programme followed by a special Skydancer Day - Hen Harrier Day programme had finished.
The northern edge of the Asda site is bordered by some bushes and trees and, as I walked alongside these towards the car park, I heard a bird song which initially reminded me of a male Blackcap.
I quickly realised that it wasn't this species but the closely related Garden Warbler. The bird sang for a few minutes but I wasn't able to see it in the dense vegetation. Nonetheless, it was my first record of Garden Warbler for 2021.
Interestingly, since my last visit to Asda, someone has erected 2 home-made nestboxes in this area of bushes and trees.
Here is the song of the Garden Warbler ....
Stay safe, stay well, stay strong, stay connected with nature
