An amazingly lovely day.
Willey; 4 Swallows were around the village today, so more arrivals., soon they will be nesting.
I finished my Rookery counts tonight for the 10Km square and totalled 584 nests which is 16 fewer than last year. Given the cold winter weather we had and counting error it suggests the population has remained stable.
Stanford Reservoir; I managed a look here after lunch. The highlights were 2 Common Sandpipers, 1 Wigeon still and 8 Goldeneye. 3 Singing Lesser Whitethroats were nice to see. The hoped for Cuckoo will have to wait for another day.
Butterflies included Brimstone, Peacock and Smal Tortoishell, plus a number of ‘whites’ that passed too quickly to identify.
