We'd heard reports of Grasshopper Warblers at the Reserve earlier today so decided on an impromtu evening stroll before dinner tonight. We neither saw nor heard them but enjoyed our walk nonetheless. The Sedge Warblers were raucous , the Willow Warblers melodious and a Song Thrush was a delight to hear. This was not intended as a recording visit but I noted the following:
SC209693 Willow Warbler; male Blackbird
SC209694 male Reed Bunting; Great Tit; Blue Tit; Song Thrush; Chiffchaff; Sedge Warbler; pair of Blackbirds;
SC208694 Sedge Warbler;
From Hide SC209694 Mallard drake; WillowWarbler; Wren.

However, the main reason for this Post is the photo of the Notice Board with a message we spotted just as we were leaving. I don't know who wrote this, but I really wanted our hard working volunteers to see it. Good to know our efforts are getting results, are appreciated and bringing pleasure to others.
