One Sedge and two Reed Warblers were singing away at Uskmouth this morning; the only other notable migrant was a Whimbrel on the foreshore although 140 Black-tailed Godwits, where the Usk spews into the channel, were also worthy of a quick raising of the bins.
Have just been flicking through the 'Climatic Atlas'. According to Huntley and his mates the "simulated potential late 21st century distribution" of Cetti's will be 50% greater than current. Almost all of England, Wales and Ireland is likely to become climatically suitable for our noisy little friends, plus south and west Scotland. Of course the downside is that, as Spain turns into a desert, gaps start appearing further south. How exciting,... bet it happens twice as fast as predicted.
