Visitors



To those who tramp the paths day in day out over the year the new voices are a special treat. This week we've already had the chiff-chaff and now the willow warbler. Fewer sounds from the mistles who dominated earlier on and blackbirds and song thrushes have been picking up just lately. The pleasure is only slightly mixed by the knowledge that we might bump into occasional birders some of whom are over-earnest, overweight and overladen with equipment.
