 Did you know?....   Late in the season, many warblers put on large amounts of fat to migrate large distances without refuelling. Examples this morning of  Sedge Warbler at 18.7g (usually 10-11g), Whitethroat 19.6g (13-14g) and Blackcaps 22.3g, 24.0g and 24.8g (16-18g). Probably going direct to the Mediterranean at least!
