JDog Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I haven’t seen it but there is one at Far Ings near the Humber Bridge. This one apparently sings most of the day and has a repertoire that includes Quail, Blackcap, Swallow and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I have plenty of the regular reed warblers at the back of my house on the banks of the river Hull. Been an absoloute joy to hear them singing their hearts out well into darkness on an evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may go tomorrow. This bird has shown itself well for a few days now. Just imagine one of only a handful of birds in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few of of us have seen it and fella sent recording to BTO. They have no match and local boffins still arguing over it as seen and heard on two local sites this week. Certainly looks like what i saw and had amazing vocal range. Like it was competing with blackcap and whitethroat that were also singing. Noticing loads of whitethroats about this year. Thinking more noticeable as there is less rape for them to hide and nest in. NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
