Willow Warbler: Before the winds picked up and the sun packed up and I was logging on to the work laptop I heard a melancholy, descending song of falling notes, the sound of summer coming from the willows on the otherwise of my garden fence.
This was the familiar song of the willow warbler, a first for my garden list and a welcome visitor possibly all the way from Africa.
My garden has taken a bask seat to spending time with Autumn and work, as a Senior Ornithologist Im more busy now than I have ever been with work. But good busy, not like the other places I've worked.
The bird was forging and singing along my fence line and my neighbours before alighting and flying over the house and out of view.
