Last Monday, 7th April, my car needed petrol so I took the camera with me and drove to nearby RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes. Previous visits have provided very little but, hopefully, there may be the odd summer migrant to see.

Since I also needed a walk to excercise my operated knee, I parked the car and walked to what is usually a quiet part of the reserve. Not so quiet these days - still the odd dogwalker and amatear athlete but I found a spot where Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs were calling.

The net result was that a couple of Willow Warblers came into camera range but the Chiffchaff were very shy.

Still, some photos were possible.

even catching flies

and checking me out.

So a decent couple of hours.
