We park up & take the path towards the sub station, as we get to the start by the gate we hear a very short burst of song of a Nightingale, it's only a couple of notes but it tells us that it's here.
A walk round to the scrub in search of any new arrivals gets us a reeling Grasshopper
Warbler, we hear it on & off over the next 10 minutes but never got to see any sign of it.unfortunately there is nothing else seen over the short time we are here.
With hardly anything moving about we head back to the car & when we reach the gate the Nightingale is singing away for a much longer burst of song, such a lovely song to listen to. We always look forward to hearing the first Nightingale over here, given another week there will be a lot more about so we will be back to hopefully see some & hear a lot more singing.
So another couple of ticks for the year & only 20 minutes from home.
