Common Whitethroat
An early morning visit to Paxton Pits near St Neots in the hope of seeing and hearing Nightingale. Glad I went early as when I returned to the car park, it was full to overflowing! On arrival, I headed along the Heronry Trail as far as the river and then spent the time at Wrays House. This was a good spot that soon produced Nightingale, Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Garden Warbler, Chiffchaff, and Common Whitethroat. Someone spotted what they thought was a Goldcrest but closer observation revealed a superb Firecrest! Full sightings can be found at the end of this post.

You got better shots of the Nightingale than I did when I went a little while ago. A cracking bird to see and hear.
