RicCF Jul 2018 6:09pm, 1 Jul 2018 First-time poster!!	0 RicCF Plenty of birds will begin their moult soon, which is the reason why Robins seem to disappear. Their young ones (all brown) will have the run of the territory until their own moult into adult plumage. In the meantime, mum and dad will be skulking about in the undergrowth looking for all the world like a sofa with the stuffing falling out. They look right grumpy too.

alpenrose Jul 2018 10:17pm, 1 Jul 2018 34,163 posts	0 alpenrose I saw a blackcap today and a reed bunting, most unusual for me and my friend and I were pleased to be able to identify them. Also, a teenage moorhen being shooed away by mum as she was tending her latest pair of offspring.
Fragile Do Not Bend Jul 2018 4:28pm, 2 Jul 2018 3,136 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend As my ability to identify warblers is pretty poor, I was delighted to identify a sedge warbler today. I even got a (not very good) photo. We are at a reserve on the North Norfolk coast today and also saw a good selection of water birds including avocet chicks and juvenile shelducks.
