3rd May - sunny spells, light W, 12C

Willey; checked out the local birds seen around the paddock, feed station, flyovers and church area for an hour, got 23 species. Nothing new but nice to see many are breeding by their behaviour.  A Robin pair are busy collecting food everyday for their young now.

Bittesby; in the afternoon I explored the fields and lake near the new warehousing complex.  A Bullfinch pair in the thick hedge with Song Thrush and Chiffchaff singing.  Both Whitethroat and Lesser Whitethroat (2) were heard singing.
On the lake the young Colts are out and about, the Mute is still sitting.  Two female Reed Bunting present and more Reed Warblers singing. little Grebes were ‘trilling’.

A pair of Kestrels were seen to copulate whilst sitting on the roof edge of the warehouse!
