Mirror carp

Fishing again at Brooms. Although colder than last time it felt warmer, as wind was light from E/S.

Fish very much on the feed and everyone catching.  I had 14 carp (5 mirrors) and one barbel, all but one on margin pole next to NW corner.  Most fish on meat, but worm also scored well when they got finicky.  Good run of mirrors mid-afternoon 3lb, 4lb, 5lb and 4lb with 3lb+ barbel around the same time.

Heard first chiffchaff of summer.  Blue tit stripping rush heads right next to me but not willing to pose for photo.
