This is only the second modern record of reedie in the
village and follows a bird seen around the same date last year. These are
presumably migrants but there must be a chance of nesting soon given the establishment
of good breeding populations at the local reserves?
A Garden Warbler in our neighbour’s garden this morning was
a surprise particularly as they have been rather scarce in the parish this
year.
A less welcome visitor was a Mink seen swimming in the Magic
Garden lake last evening. This presumably accounts for the disappearance of the
Moorhen chicks and Tufted Ducklings although the three young Little Grebes have
survived so far.
