Last year I mentioned counting 51 Willow Warbler on a walk in South Cumbria.
I did a slightly shortened version today and counted 36;the most numerous species of the morning.
Many are back in the usual locations elsewhere.
A few people said Willow Warbler numbers were down in some parts of the country, but this isn't so in the north-west apparently.
According to the last county report numbers in the north-west were up by 5% yet down by 9% in the UK.
I'm not sure why this is the case.
