Wheatears

An early (for me) walk on Ainsdale dunes rustled up four Wheatears, Willow Warblers, and some Whitethroats.

Some Whitethroat photos taken in the area where a Lesser Whitethroat later took up residence seem inconclusive to me.

There was a Grasshopper Warbler reeling away on the NNR but only glimpsed at distance. Recordings were made, but they suffer from compression so the spectrograms look a mess.

That said, here’s a Gropper:

And here’s a cacophony of Gropper, Whitethroat and Black-headed Gulls.
