This morning I took part in an event for International Dawn Chorus Weekend. I got to Paxton Pits by 5.30 am to listen to the dawn chorus there. The noise was incredible, especially the Nightingale. Paxton has many pairs of Nightingales despite the fact that the scrubland habitat that they require is being reduced by the Muntjac deer that graze among the trees. The bird on the right is a Garden Warbler - very similar to Nightingale except what comes out of the mouth!
A wonderful experience - watch this short video made from a recording taken at the time plus photos.
