Heard a Cetti’s Warbler singing on the edge of Pymmes Brook by the bridge into the West Marsh Triangle. Not heard one there before. Hopefully establishing territory?

Peter Lambert heard the first singing sedge warbler of the year on Wild Marsh East. Also, saw a Peregrine. There have been a few sightings of a peregrine on the marshes over the last few weeks.
The bird survey on Sunday 11th should hopefully bring in a few more new arrivals for this year’s list.
