Garden Warbler.
Skulking LBJs like the Garden Warbler help us to know who they are by their unmistakeable songs and calls. Here is a great opportiunity to improve your confidence.
One of the trickiest groups of birds to identify are the “Little Brown Jobs”. Inconspicuous in plumage and often skulking in their behaviour, they prefer the cover of foliage, scrub or reeds to exposed perches. Sometimes they bounce across the sky in small flocks, giving us tantalisingly few clues to help us with their identity and it is hardly surprising that they are some of the most challenging birds to identify. However, what they lack in visual distinction they often make up for with their vocal capabilities. During this workshop we will be visiting a variety of habitats and a number of nearby top birdwatching spots along the Suffolk coast including such excellent reserves as Walberswick, Dunwich Heath and Minsmere. Up to eleven species of warbler can be found here at this time of year and, using, songs, calls and “jizz” we will explore the techniques for confident identification of these and other less obvious species
