The walk over the hill from the car park produced Garden Warbler, Blackcap and Whitethroat. The Haugh was very quite, with only a few Teal and Gadwall of interest. A Mute Swan was on a nest to the right of the causeway hide.
Sedge Warblers were singing from all areas of the reserve:
There was at least a further 2 Garden Warblers singing in the scrub between the Phoenix and Centenary hides. Also in this area, a Whitethroat was seen along with several Willow Warblers. A Sparrowhawk was circling over the Ross Estate. At least 2 Buzzards were in the sky, often being mobbed by Crows.
20 + Sand Martin were over their nesting areas along the river bank and at least 2 Swifts were also present. There was no sign of any Spotted Flycatchers along the Chestnut walk, but it might still be a bit early for them ?
