It has been present, showing well on occasions and singing regularly now, for over a week. The bird is favouring a small area of reed bed in front of the Tower Hide that overlooks Clifton Pond.<\/p>\n<p>The distinctive high pitched reeling song, that sounds like an insect, can be heard well before the bird is viewed, if you are lucky!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It took me three attempts before I finally had good views of the bird on Sunday morning at 06:30am and Paul Buxton, one of the local birders at Attenborough, has kindly supplied me with a phone-scoped picture he took, as a record of this bird. Many thanks Paul<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also an Arctic Tern was present briefly and all the common warblers were about in various locations. The drake Scaup was still on Church Pond and a Little Ringed Plover from the track leading towards Tower Hide. A male Bullfinch posed very well for my camera, as it was busy munching on old blackberries. A great morning at a great local reserve.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_3595-700x561.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_3595-700x561.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_3595-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_3595-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_3595-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_3595.jpg 1827w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Savi&#8217;s Warbler &#8211; reeling from the reed bed  at Attenborough. &#8211; photo by kind permission of Paul Buxton<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7271-700x433.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7271-700x433.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7271-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7271-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7271-768x475.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7271.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Bullfinch &#8211; male<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7325-copy-700x433.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7325-copy-700x433.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7325-copy-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7325-copy-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7325-copy-768x475.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bullfinch-_M2A7325-copy.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Bullfinch -male<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Sedge-Warbler-_M2A7222-700x619.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Sedge-Warbler-_M2A7222-700x619.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Sedge-Warbler-_M2A7222-150x133.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Sedge-Warbler-_M2A7222-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Sedge-Warbler-_M2A7222-768x679.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Sedge-Warbler-_M2A7222.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Sedge Warbler &#8211; plenty singing around the reserve<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Savi&#8217;s Warbler, a rare summer migrant that breeds in Eastern Europe, has arrived at Attenborough Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire.
