Singing warblers in the rain

Had an early evening stroll around Speke Garston Coastal park with Ged Clarke from the BBC.
We were out looking at local urban wildlife sites for a possible BBC piece about local North West wildlife.
As the rain started to stop the breeding birds started to sing.
There seemed to be warblers everywhere as well as goldfinch's.
One goldfinch perched up on a stick and lacked any red around its face reminding me of a juvenile bird. Looking around there seemed to be large numbers of goldfinch's with the odd greenfinch.
6 oystercatchers were on the mud as well as 3 whimbrels, a few mallards and 6 shelducks.
It was great to see the reeds and sedges had grown back after the fires on site. A few percy sedge warblers were holding territory in the thicker vegetation and whitethroats were flying up and doing there song. No sign of any lapwings breeding. Chris
