I set off this morning to Fishers green arriving at 6am pleased to find the gate open as it doesn't officially open until 8am but the guy tries to get the gates opened early most mornings. I walked around to the power station hearing a few Whitethroats on my walk. I couldn't find any Nightingale which was my main aim so headed up the path and over the bridge to walk back towards Bittern hide. At the bramble patch I heard and saw my first Garden Warbler of 2025 but couldn't hear any Lesser Whitethroat. As I reached the lake I heard my first Nightingale of the year followed quickly by my second and then third.
I left at 7am and headed up onto the reservoir to find it very flat and calm today. Four Common Tern remained on the south basin but nothing else of note. On north basin I found the drake Scaup and a Common Sandpiper. A Cuckoo was singing from Sewardstone marsh as I left magic corner and then I found six Wheatear on the return leg of my four mile circuit which resulted in a total species count of 60.
