Bluebells and Warblers

I went for a walk around Aston End and along the river Beane this morning. As with the last couple of days, it was blue skies, sunshine and hot, but with a southerly breeze. We had a bit of rain overnight but it remained fairly dry underfoot, and the river, while flowing has dropped in level quite a bit since my last visit at the start of the month. I have no doubt it will be dry in the summer (its usually dry by now so its better than usual).
Warblers were conspicuous with lots of singing birds-two Chiffchaffs, at least seven Blackcaps, a Whitethroat and two Lesser Whitethroat. There were around six or more Yellowhammers, 17+Skylarks, 5+Buzzards, a pair of Sparrowhawks, a pair of Kestrels and three singing Greenfinches. Butterflies were out in force, Small Tortoiseshells were everywhere as were Green Veined Whites, and there were two Speckled Woods, two Brimstones and a male Orange Tip.
The usual wooded bank was looking good, with a lovely show of Bluebells. They seem to be almost at their peak at the moment, obviously the warmth over the last few days has really brought them on.
