A host of warblers all around this morning. Another Garden Warbler was found and positively id'd and I even got a photo too. Garden Warbler and Blackcap have almost identical songs and without seeing the bird I'm listening to I can't be sure which warbler it is so I was happy to see the Garden Warbler.
Garden Warblers and Blackcaps are two of several warblers in the genus Sylvia, which prompted my singing this song! We get 4 Sylia warblers here in summer, all of which are to be heard almost every day along the Mere footpaths.

| Sylvia borin - Garden Warbler near Wassand Hall |

| Sylvia communis - Whitethroat by the Mere |

| Sylvia curruca - Lesser Whitethroat near Wassand |

| Sylvia atricapilla - Blackcap at Wassand |
Of course at least one of these is Sylvia's father, but that wouldn't work as well as Sylvia's mother.
Apart from the warblers singing, it's pretty quiet at the moment with all this settled high pressure weather. Things may change over the next few days as strong northerly winds are forecast.
