This morning I headed down Greenhills Lane. After trouble
with my Achilles tendon this was the first time I have hobbled further than the
Magic Garden for some time. Pick of the birds were at least six Lesser Whitethroat
either calling or singing down here. Two were carrying food but these were the
best shots I managed of very elusive birds…
Three Red-legged Partridge were also down here…
Along with the first big congregation of gulls since the late
winter (around 150 mainly Lesser Black-backed) and a total of four Buzzards. I
also tallied up 15 Speckled Wood along the route…
Back in the village the first Spotted Flycatcher has at last
made an appearance, around two weeks later than the average arrival date. It
was in the Garth and in Jim and Sue’s garden next door I had two Painted
Ladies.
