Stockbridge Reserve (members only) - many young birds on site. The raspberry patch attracted Blackcap and Garden Warbler. Feeder and willows held Goldfinch, GSW, Bullfinch, Whitethroat, Chiff-Chaffs and a Siskin along with many of the tit family. It looks to be a good breeding year here.
Sedge Warbler was heard briefly.
