Nightingale

Cool and overcast to start,sunny and warm later.(8:am-10:am).
The main interest this morning was a Cuckoo and a Turtle Dove in the area of the Sunken marsh,(2) Shelduck along the river,(2) Linnets in the East scrub and a Hobby which flew over the Brookland car park as I was leaving for home.

I watched a pair of Nightingales taken food to their young in the Brook House area.
