Spring has really got going on the Commons now. The different shades of green on the central area are stunning, and the first few orchids have started flowering.
We don't usually do well for willow warblers, but today I heard three males singing - let's hope that at least one stays the course! I also heard the first reed warbler of the year on the main reed bed; more or less the same date as last year. Also on the reed bed is a pair of reed buntings, clearly feeding young.
Other songsters in fine voice are blackcaps, chiffchaffs, wrens, at least one song thrush and blackbirds. Perhaps best of all there is a cuckoo doing the rounds of the neighbourhood, and perhaps even two males calling.
