Willow Warbler

An early Willow Warbler was singing constantly in a small birch wood near Hejresøen today.. my first of the year and great to hear among the cacophony of the now common Chiffchaffs. A check on the Firecrest(s) in Kongelunden revealed almost certainly two singing males, although both proved very difficult to see in the canopy. An updated map can be found here.

The Tawny Owl was still at her regular roost and I finally caught up with the local Great Grey Shrike on Vestamager.

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the Firecrest today! (9/4-10); heard it several times, but didn't see it very well, maybe we will try another day!

See you!

Hi Frank,

Glad you connected! It's a difficult bird to see well as it is keeping to the tops of the trees - thank god it sings or it would be impossible to find!

Best wishes, Terry
