Hercules Den - Willow Warbler


I've talked about parks and paths which are near to housing and how busy they get, and that not everyone appreciates or cares about the rules. Today, 3 young women looking at a phone (?) with a number of kids playing on swings out of shot. Also 3 young men biking in a close group, 2 families stopped and blocking the path and too close together, a couple who arrived in two vehicles, again too close, and of course dog walkers brought together through dogs tangled up leads. I ask you!

The birds don't care though and I found my first Willow Warblers and confirmed a Grey Wagtail pair was where I thought. I doubt I'll be back and will use short travel as a "reasonable excuse" required to avoid the fools and keep us safe.

I've now taken to flower photos to keep Olive happy
