Great to see that the Lesser Whitethroat is staying around in the willow scrub area by the pond.
Also, many Chiffchaffs coming to the water in the shade - such delightful warblers when you observe them carefully.

We have had a lucky start of the spring season. Yesterday we tagged an adult territorial male in the north of Spain. A beautiful and combative individual. We named him Gaitzarra aka the bad guy.
