#GlosBirds it is so nice to hear the hedgerows and reedbeds alive with birdsong again. Little vid of some Warblers seen and heard around Frampton this morning.

#GlosBirds Got my first Reed Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat of the year this morning at Splatt Flashes thanks to Mike King🦉🐺. Also a group of 6+ Common Sandpipers flew north along the canal, 9 Black-tailed Godwits over and a Redshank. Only heard the Whimbrel AGAIN!!.

#GlosBirds Frampton sailing lake this morning, a Common Tern, 2 Common Sandpipers, 4 Oystercatchers, 1 Reed Warbler, 2 Willow Warblers, 6 Blackcaps, 4 Cetti's Warblers and 6 Stock Doves plus another Common Sandpiper on Court lake and 2 more Oystercatchers.

It is fantastic to see at least 2 pairs of healthy looking Greenfinches visiting my garden recently. It seems to me Greenfinch numbers are slowly recovering after a huge decline mainly due to the horrible trichomonosis disease that has taken a terrible toll on them. #GlosBirds
