Warblers: Garden and Grasshopper

Claire Backshall and I heard a Garden Warbler singing this morning by the River Vyrnwy between Llansantffraid and Llanymynech. We also saw one Mandarin and a pair of Common Sandpipers - there are plenty of gravel beds for them to raise young if the river doesn't flood....

At Dolydd Hafren, Will Ferguson reports a Grasshopper Warbler singing and a Little Ringed Plover on 19 April.
