Yellow Warbler at Greenbury Point

I’ve heard for years there  were Yellow Warblers at Greenbury Point, but this is the first time I’ve found one. I was actually unsure what it was for a moment.

I’m still maintaining the usual routine, but  I managed a trip to Bombay hook with Graeme, and a couple of trips to CBEC, which is starting to pick up a little.

The Trumpeter Swans are doing well.  They seem to spend all their time preening and feeding and presumably sleeping. The book says they feed in the dark, also.

A few other birds have showed up, but this is typically the slowest time of year.

I saw fewer Great Crested Flycatchers than usual this year.

I don’t see many Great Egrets at Woolchurch Pond, as there’s seldom any mud.
