Recognise it?! 🤔👇

By late July, it’s unusual to hear much singing from Garden Warblers. But there’ll still be the odd blast!

Most males have stopped singing or are only giving the occasional subdued burst after breeding.

In fact, they’re one of the earliest warblers to migrate back to Africa. Sort of late July-mid August.

So if you’re out birding this week and don’t hear any Garden Warblers, that’s completely expected. They’re often still there but they’re much quieter and far more secretive than they were in May and June.

Guys, I know this is a public TOILET but… 👀

Swallows are about to undertake one of the biggest migrations of any bird and they will nest anywhere suitable they can find but surely these guys’ parents could have found somewhere a bit nicer than this?!
