The amount of chiffchaff's around is astounding it seems as if every tree has one flitting around in it.

Couldn't seem to find that many Blackcap around today I could here them but they always seemed to be in a bush, behind a bush or with the sun right behind them.

Quite a few Willow Warbler's around today also providing a backdrop to the Chiffchaff. Although they are very similar the song is a dead give away.

Not to far from Snipe hide a very distinct song of a Sedge Warbler was coming from a thick bush covered in brambles. About 20 ft was as close as I could get, and after 30 minutes of waiting he finely showed himself for a few seconds. I managed to get a couple of pics while franticly trying to focus my camera between 5 ft of brambles.

I would have liked to get a picture of the Cetti's Warbler but as per usual plenty of singing but no showing himself.
The Sand Martins have arrived and numbers are growing but they never came that close for a good photo hopefully when they start to nest I can pick up a better image.

A few more pics from today.
