Warblers, Crests and Flycatchers - The Garden Warbler

First seen on Tuesday 6th May 2025 at Wallington

The garden warbler is not the easiest of birds to see. They are very drab, in fact they are noted for having no distinguishing features at all. They tend to skulk in foliage for long periods singing, then quickly moving to another perch where they vanish and start singing again. The best way to identify them is their song - a long rambling, flowing, bubbling, scratchy warble. This one was actually singing out in the open, along the river walk, not far from the bridge.
