1st May

Summer migrants are still making their slow way in. The first Whitethroat was in the Bottom Fields on 26th April and quite widespread by the following day…


The first Lesser White was also in the Bottom field hedgerows yesterday and I heard three singing birds today. These latter individuals were all in Warbler Hedge, a lovely mature hedgerow to the north of the village which usually holds all six common species of warblers…


Talking of warblers Blackcaps seem to be present in really good numbers this spring although this is the best shot I have managed so far…


Otherwise it remains distinctly quiet with very little to excite the local birders. But plenty of time yet…


Year List to end of April – 93 species
