First Willow Warbler
The first Willow Warbler of the year has been heard singing today on the reserve and joins our growing list of returned Spring migrants. The water levels are being dropped on the Folly Pond now that the Whooper Swans have left to create muddy edges that are perfect for any spring passage waders. It is usually about this time that a pair of Avocets drop in for a visit so we are keeping our eyes peeled for that!
