11th March - after a goofy start a sunny and calm day, maybe 10C in the sun.

Feeling a lot warmer, with many more insects about today including several Bee species.  No doubt somewhere there were the first butterflies too.

A couple of Buzzard were high over the village in their flight display.  Plenty of birdsong today, a Goldcrest and Cold Tit was in the church Yew again and a Mistle Thrush could be heard nearby.

At the feed station there were still 10+ Yellowhammers, with several Chaffinch, House Sparrows, only two Tree Sparrows.  The Nuthatch was feeding along with a single Long-tailed Tit and several Blue and Great Tits.  At least 15 Jacdaws were feeding on spilt seed on the ground.

On the fields behind the church, late afternoon, some 50 Starlings and c10 Fieldfare were feeding on the pasture.
