A steady month with a couple of nice surprises.
A total of 18 patch ticks, made up with regulars and the first summer migrants.
A hooded crow on the 20th was only a second for the patch, following one last year. But bird of the month and, so far, bird of the year was a fine Taiga Bean Goose first seen on 28th and still present, was also a second for the patch with one previously on 11 April 2018. Although not comparable with Galley's Night Heron and it is only a goose, but it is still a very fine patch bird.
77 for the year, 64.01% pushes me gently up the leader board.
