A few more warblers

The emphasis being on few. I was down at Woolston this morning where we caught about 25 birds. A few juvenile Blackcaps were nice to see. This 1cy male has yet to start post-juvenile moult; the black feathers in its crown were juvenile feathers.

We caught our first juvenile Reed Warbler of the year; it refused to cooperate for photos, so here's a rather pointless wing shot instead.

Those wings'll carry it to Africa.

No Sedge Warblers — we didn't even hear one — and only one Common Whitethroat, though it does at least seem that Wrens, Common Chiffchaffs and Bullfinches have had a reasonably productive breeding season.
