Thankfully dog walking and daily exercise are still allowed and I've been walking my dogs and taking my daily exercise on my patch almost every morning for the last six years and very isolated place it is to.
The good news is that in these new times it would be very irresponsible to put out any bird news from the patch, unfortunately though there hasn't been anything worth putting the news out for... But I live in hope...
March and April have been fairly quiet the best of the bunch being a White-fronted goose, of the Greenland, variety in amongst the pinkies on the 12 April being only the second record of the patch (the first being in October 2016). A trio of black-tailed godwits on the not so great pool the day before are always a good patch bird.
A scattering of summer migrants over the last week brings the total to 76 (67.50%), which is three species fewer than this time last year. But the weather is looking sweet towards the end of this week so hopefully I'll soon be finding something which I won't be able to tell you about.
Happy days.
