\"Whitethroat\"
\n<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The local Whitehroats have been returning to their summer territories over the past couple of weeks. The distinctive scratchy warble is unmistakable and a real sign that summer is just around the corner.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Another<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The first wave of this year\u2019s arrivals seemed to be relatively quiet \u2013 probably exhausted after the long flight north from sub-saharan Africa. However, over the past week as more birds have returned the song of the Common Whitethroat has become a welcome addition to the Dawn Chorus.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"A<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The northern Nightingale – a male Blackcap another summer visitor recently arrived from Africa.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Harlequin<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A far less welcome recent arrival. Harlequin Ladybirds in the Orchard within Kenworthy Wood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Small<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Small Tortoiseshell in Kenworthy Wood.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
