After the successes we had at Brandon yesterday, I took the Capt for an evening stroll at Brandon to try and score her some new species for this year.
The difference just one day makes to the level of water is amazing. Only 36 hours ago, all paths to the main hides were completely under water yet today they were completely clear and even dry in places, I felt a bit foolish wearing wellies (but as least I went prepared).
I took us the same route as yesterday, past the Windmill on towards Sheep field and before long we had Chiff Chaff, Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Whitethroat and Garden Warbler. Unfortunately no sign of any Lesser Whitethroat or the Nightingale (at Carlton Hide) but we managed good views of Cettis Warblers, Sedge Warblers and Reed Warblers and rounded off with a Cuckoo calling from the usual dead tree over Newlands Reed Bed.
