Young whitethroats

Had a quick spin across the boardwalk and through School Common yesterday, trying without success to dodge the downpours. At least we don't need to bemoan the lack of rain at the moment! It was interesting to see how quickly the water level of Scouts' pond has risen.

Inevitably there was not much to be seen, but I did find either a female or juvenile blackcap. The highlight however was in the bushes on the area near Warren Road: an adult whitethroat was busy feeding three wonderful youngsters - very heartening.
