WHAT ! No Wheatears

                                   Lonely Heron on the Nigel Kerwin pond
Wandered up Soil Hill this p.m. with a positive view of picking up my first annual Wheatear but came away with my hopes dashed although looking back to last year my first was on the 22nd so its not drastic. This happens every year when you tend to try to rush things on like the first Hirundine, first Swift and first Willow Warbler and then when you,ve seen a few you dont give them a second glance until you,re watching for your last of the year. Its all part of birding and the beauty of it is that theres always something new to expect every season.  Got to wait till next weekend now but at least we alter the clocks so a bit of evening birding is forecast.
Birds on the hill were
7 Mallard >NE
1 Curlew
1 Heron
Several Meadow Pipits and Skylarks.
