It felt promising conditions this morning but a walk around Norwick only produced the lingering Redwing and Willow Warbler. Just after arriving home a Warbler flew across our garden and landed atop our rosa - a Marsh Warbler! Unfortunately by the time I grabbed the camera it had dropped into the cover of the rosa, and in the limited time before I left for work, it only afforded a couple more glimpses - it's my latest Spring arrival date by 3 days and the first that I've seen this year. Later I heard a Quail at Inner Skaw.

With very little time to edit images or blog recently, here's an image of a well-suffused Red-backed Shrike found by Dante mid-June - the only one that I saw this Spring.
