I could imagine that timing the earlier emergence of insect prey at the breeding grounds is particularly problematic for insectivorous species. This abundance by no means meant theat they are easy to see, and I got quite a sore neck from peering into the canopy. Eurasian Blackcaps, while even more common, are also always a pleasure.
