Willow Warbler - Phylloscopus trochilus
BIRD GUIDES NOTEABLE PHOTO April 29 - 5 May 2020
Taken on local walks (Kenfig area)
It is a bird of open woodlands with trees and ground cover for nesting, including most importantly birch, alder, and willow habitats. The nest is usually built in close contact with the ground, often in low vegetation. Like most Old World warblers (Sylviidae), this small passerine is insectivorous. In northern Europe, it is one of the first warblers to return in the spring though is later than the closely related chiffchaff.
It is a typical leaf warbler in appearance, 11–12.5 cm long and 7–15 g weight. It is greenish brown above and off-white to yellowish below; the wings are plain greenish-brown with no wingbars. Juveniles are yellower below than adults. It is very similar to the chiffchaff, but non-singing birds can be distinguished from that species by their paler pinkish-yellow legs (dark brown to blackish in chiffchaff), longer paler bill, more elegant shape and longer primary projection (wingtip). Its song is a simple repetitive descending whistle, while the contact call is a disyllabic 'hoo-eet', distinct from the more monosyllabic 'hweet' of chiffchaffs.
Willow warblers prefer young, open, scrubby woodland with small trees, including human-altered habitats such as coppice and young plantations up to 10–20 years old. High amounts of birch, alder and willow, with good lichen amounts, and water features (e.g. streams), fields with large amounts of bracken and mosses, and patches of low bramble (for nest cover) are preferred, but it will use a wide range of other species, including young or open coniferous forests. Incorporating woodland ride edge thickets is beneficial, as is 15 metre woodland edges of varying structure and height. They prefer damp woodland areas. Thicket forming shrubs like blackthorn provide pockets of habitat. Deer browsing can degrade the required low cover.
The grove of willow on my walk is absolutely heaving with these and the foliage is just bare enough to be able to see them. In a week or so they will be invisible

Stadsparken (the city park) of Lund, Sweden. The park was inaugurated in 1911 - the area, just outside the medieval town wall, had been used in 1907 for the Lund exhibition (Lundautställningen) after the town had bought the piece of land in 1904. At the exhibition some 250 000 people visited the area in four months, viewing exhibitors from the whole country.

On a fine autumn day a willow is mirrowing in a tranquil little lake near Lake Tepako, New Zealand.
At the horizon the Two Thumb Range is rising into sky.

Taken at Barham Hall Gardens on a nice sunny day.
Five acres of immaculate lawns, borders, ponds, waterfalls, woodland garden trees, azaleas and many wild flowers.
Taken Friday morning with my 'new' phone, then processed in Topaz Studio with a texture of my own. The weather went downhill shortly after this, it poured down for the rest of the the day. It doesn't seem like we'll get a proper summer this year, here in the UK. Marnie and I visit this place nearly every day if I'm short of time, as it's so close to home. She gets what she needs, familiarity and a space to roam. I get a nice view down the stream with flowers, beautiful trees and the sight and sound of trickling water.
You know I usually like to put music to my images, so here's something beautiful you may not have heard or seen before.
