Speaking of the sparrow family, did you see anything of whitethroat? |
A whitethroat launches into the sky to deliver his scratchy song, before parachuting down to his hidden nest along the banks of a canal. |
The whitethroat sings with crest erect, and attitudes of warning and defiance. |
We have planted over 800 native trees along the embankment, creating a wonderful habitat for warblers such as whitethroat, garden warbler and blackcap. |
The whitethroat, reed warbler and lesser whitethroat I saw at the weekend may be the last I see until April. |
The whitethroat population appears to have bounced back, but other species such as spotted flycatcher and turtle dove have not. |
