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
