Icterines

Not much about today in a blustery two hour jaunt. The first Icterine Warbler of the year at Kongelunden was good to see and hear. The song is similar to Marsh Warbler with lots of mimicry but the Icterine includes a few characteristic whistles that allow identification on song alone. This morning's male was relatively showy, singing from the top of a hawthorn along a hedge. Other highlights included 3 Bitterns (including 2 in flight together) and a migrant Wheatear on the point.
