It's mid May and we've been lax and hard at it. It's been a good spring inland with some top records including a group of four ring ouzels. and a cuckoo. Add this to the heaps of common stuff and improbably we are on 75 species, which is known as 99.1%. In mid May! We've had garden warbler and spotted flycatcher just off patch while applying our doubtable talents to do some proper bird surveys on a local nature reserve, but they don't count. Closing in!
