0845 - 1045 overcast but brightening to sun and warm
….and let it begin....
The rush of migrants is upon us...the next few weeks will be migrant central...let it wash over me in a sea of songness…..
7 Chiffchaff…..good start....
Plenty of birds now singing as they venture forth on a spring and summer of love....well...birdy love maybe....
A Sparrowhawk was over Middle Pit....this is not a bird seen too often at the pits.....
2 drake Goldeneye have appeared on Middle Pit....and 2 females are there....probably the same two that have been around....but the arrival of the boys means there is definite movement for our winter visitors....
The top field is looking good....several Skylark are singing from there as usual....so hopefully this field will be left alone this year which will be a boost for them and any Meadow Pipits that hang around as found one today along the edge....
Two pairs of Yellowhammers were there as well...
2 Mandarin Duck were in their usual place....my biggest total of Grey Herons....16....has been beaten within a couple of weeks....19 today.....put up by a low passing Buzzard....
3 Stock Dove were in the fields south of the pits....
