In today’s blog we are going to look at the variety of warblers you can now see and hear not just at Lackford, but in your own local green spaces too.
A king among birds, the goldcrest displays a beautiful golden crown. Our smallest bird, it can be spotted in conifer woodlands and parks across the UK.
It certainly now feels like spring at Lackford with many of our warblers now back at the lakes. As you wander around you will hear lots of blackcap, chiffchaff, whitethroat etc. singing away so…
