It's the time of year where we are joined here by both new and old as Spring migrants drop in and wintering species move off. A Firecrest got the day started along with 2 Chaffinch, 2 Goldcrest and 4 Redwing. Lots of species in singles today including Fieldfare (photo), Woodlark, Skylark, Rock Pipit and Chiffchaff. On sea 10 Red-throated Divers South and 4 Brents South whilst 6 Shelduck on the reserve - hopefully they are returning breeders. Late news - male Wheatear turned up early afternoon.


Later in the day this Early Bumblebee Bombus pratorum was spotted. 

Ringing: 2 Blackbird, 2 Chaffinch, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Firecrest, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Robin
