The Spring still seems a long way off as the dreary, grey, cold and wet weather continues! Migrants seem few and far between around the local patch. Highlights have been 2 Little Ringed Plovers, just 2-3 Willow Warblers, 3 House Martin and a couple of Swallow all heading straight through. Still yet to see my first Wheatear of 2024, but I must remind myself, it is only the 2nd April…..
Recent Nocmig highlight has been a Barn Owl (presumed male) calling over the garden during the early hours of 22 March.
