I "got" my first Lesser Whitethroat of the year today. Picked up " on song" as nearly always happens. I remember perfectly the first one I ever saw .... Typically, it was singing from deep within a very tall hedge. They like them. [That was when I lived in Dalton-in Furness. Its only claim to fame was at the Bus Stop. Some fan had spray-painted PINK FYLOD on the bus shelter in huge letters. For all I know it might still be there. I hope so. They've always been PINK FYLOD to The Significant Otter and me ever since.] I was also able to show Mr. G. his first L.W. ..... in almost exactly the same spot as today's. That's him in the picture up there, on the right..... it was his first job. He stuck it for a whole summer season ! In Filey !!! Here's a good video comparing Whitethroat and Lesser Whitethroat ... There we are then .... some facts, some fictions, and some songs...
