Spring!

The first spring like morning in weeks...and a good walk around the fields and into the woods was very pleasant. There are singing Chiffchaff and Willow Warblers everywhere and at least 5 Whitethroats in the hedgerows in the Church area (YT 81). There were also a few Swallows passing through.

A quick walk through the Northern end of the woods was pretty quiet although a singing Cuckoo (YT 82) was nice and the biggest surprise was a singing Garden Warbler (YT 83) in the Clay Pits area. Had a flyby Tawny Owl on one of the rides, which was good to see!

Hopefully the migration floodgates have finally opened and the summer visitors will start piling in!
