18.04.2023 : Cogra Moss, Ennerdale Cumbria, early morning

18.04.23: Trip to Cogra Moss at sunrise, cold and clear. Walked around the lake looking to see what was about but inparticular trying to get a shot of the Willow Warblers. The air was full of them singing but as normal they were hiding in the thick trees and scrub, took a full hour and a half till I found some on too of the Christmas trees m many fanning their tails in a courtship display, which is why I guess they were all in such good voice. Never seen or heard to many of them, so much so I almost missed a Chiffchaff hiding among them, it was only the black legs that gave it away and then of course I heard them calling, I nearly missed it the warblers were so loud. There was a few other birds about, Geese on the lake, a distant Buzzard lloking for breakfast, tree creepers, Great Spotted Woodpeckers and Wrens but it was mainly a warbler day .
