It has been a while, all too long indeed, since we updated you. Winter has gone and spring has come to our patch, and the birds reflect this. A brief summary of goings on: second and third cormorant record for the patch, fly over whooper swans, a stonking count of eight ring ouzels at the beginning of April together with curlew and wheatear, and willow warblers returned in force last weekend. All settled now, with whitethroat and swift about the only summer migrant to return. All this bring us to a rather incredible 76 species, or 94.21%.
