Monday 24th February 2020


We have Frog spawn which, if my memory serves me right, is the first ever in February here. The drought of 2018 devastated the frog population in the Butts pond and with very few frogs or spawn seen in 2019 it was a bit of a surprise to see this small patch this morning.

Today's migrants are 3 female Stonechat scattered about the site, Skylark & a Rock Pipit heading south over the observatory. Rock Pipits typically start heading back to Scandinavia in the last week of February so this one is dead on cue. Adult Yellow-legged Gull again present.
