The ever reliable robin is the only bird to be heard singing at the moment. Many birds have been moulting and this has led to their silence. Many birds, such as the neighbourhood skylarks have moved away completely, whilst the warblers can only be seen skulking deep in the undergrowth. But, the robin has begun singing again. These are of course, very territorial birds, but why should they be particularly concerned with territory at this time of year? There is also evidence that many robins migrate to our warmer climes in the winter so are these new arrivals?
Lots of questions, but not so many answers I am afraid.
