Left today's exercise walk until the evening, which meant birds generally were less obvious. However five singing Chaffinches and the same number of singing Greenfinches were good totals. Blackcaps continue to call from all over the square (I had ten singing birds the other day). News from both Renfrewshire and Ayrshire suggest that Garden Warblers are unusually common this year. I must remember to re-check any odd Blackcap songs I hear. Other news is that a Lesser Whitethroat has been singing near Howwood.
