One of our most colourful summer residents that arrives in April is the bluethroat. These beautiful birds, with their almost radiating blue throat, inhabit our marsh lands and reed fields. Once the males found a suitable habitat they make regular flights in their small territory and sing from their favorite posts in order to attract a partner for the coming breeding season. Their behaviour is quite predictable. Yesterday evening I found such a territorial male and followed him for about 4 hours. Precious moments with a small friend ................
