Common Whitethroat

Not much around today apart from a few Herring and Black-headed Gulls loafing around on the reserve, though the weather was quite pleasant.

Best bird of the trip was a singing Whitethroat around the bushes just over the wall at the top of Bib Knowl Valley - performing from the tops of the bushes and performing song-flights.
