\nMarsh and Reed Warblers have finally arrived, a good two weeks behind schedule, while Great Reed Warblers also haunt the reedbed.

Several Black Terns kept them company throughout the week.

A few weeks ago, one to three Spoonbills returned to La Cassinazza, after an absence of several months. They are only present intermittently, and are quite wary, making photography a challenge.<\/p>\n
