During recent walks I’ve often heard a distinctive buzzing sound coming from the trees and bushes as I’ve walked past. The sound comes from Whitethroats; at this time of year it’s usually a family of adults and their fledglings keeping in contact as they forage for food. With the vegetation now dense, almost impenetrable in places, I don’t often see the birds but, this day, I got lucky when a juvenile Whitethroat paused briefly in a gap in the foliage.
