19th April - Hot, sunny, 27C, light southerly

Amazing April weather.  Seen more butterflies this Spring so far than for a long time.

About 20 Stock Doves were in the BHwood area this morning and nearby barns.  A noisy Nuthatch was in the Church Lane trees during the day.

Thornton Reservoir; reports that a male Ring Ouzel was still in the horse paddocks here made me decide to go in the evening to have a look.  After a while it came out of the hedge and started feeding on the ground, pulling out worms. Good views were had before something startled it and it went back in to the hedge.  After 5 mins it appeared again, I then realised I’d left my digital adaptor behind so could not get a photo.  A Mistle Thrush, Pied Wagtail, Blackbirds  and Goldfinch pair were feeding in the paddock too.
