Newcomers on patch

Things are hotting up on the patch at the moment with summer visitors at last beginning to come through, albeit in small numbers.

The last few days have seen me record the 1st Lesser Whitethroat, Garden Warbler and House Martin from the garden and the pond opposite the house hosted a pair of Mute Swans for all of 10 minutes one morning!


As well as the summer migrants some of the wintering birds a re still hanging on and following on from last weekends small influx of Lesser Redpoll several more birds visited the feeders outside the conservatory window. These weren't ringed so I know they're new birds.



The local Little Owls appear to be on eggs as what I assume is the male is roosting outside the hole most of the time. With the recent good weather its bee no show almost continuously.
