14:00
One was singing from scrub at the E edge of Grove Road rec ground (next to Forton Lake) in sunny weather, then weirdly sang again from the N side of the rec ground. Probably a male looking for a suitable territory. I've occasionally heard singing from Priddy's Hard conservation area (on N shore of Forton Lake) in the past but not for a few years, though don't regularly walk there any more.
