Reed Warblers.... And others.

It definitely seems to be warbler time at the moment. I took a walk along the Son-sonette yesterday where at least two reed warblers were present in the usual reed patch which has survived the poplar plantations. Other warblers there were whitethroats, chiffchaffs, blackcaps and melodious.

There are three Charente warblers which I have yet to come across this year :

Dartford:   I've never yet managed to find one here but its range seems to be very limited and in the high Charente.
Cetti's:  usually around but yet to be located in its usual waterside haunts.
Bonelli's. The ForĂȘt de Braconne is the best place for this species so I must get there again soon.
