Busy, busy, busy - but always time for cake

Monday 11th April It seems to have been all work and not much birding over the last couple of weeks, though a brief afternoon on Lundy following some off-shore surveys did give rise to some pleasant birding and a large fall of 100+ Willow Warblers. The local Peregrines seem to be getting down to business and both Reed and Sedge Warblers have appeared on the patch.

However, onto more important matters - The Mrs baked a truly delicious chocolate cake for my recent birthday (hence the photo shows very little remaining!) and I was taken to the River Cottage Canteen for lunch owned by Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall.
