A mixture of sunshine and showers today with a strong wind but remaining mild.
A quick 15 minute dash down the Dailies on my way back to work paid off finding the habitat looking good and plenty of birds.
A suprise to see Linnet hanging around their regular breeding sight and a bit of a shock when I nearly stood on a Snipe. Green Woodpeckers were in full call and winter thrushes were in the Hawthorns. The recently planted Hawthorns have thickened up and will make a good secure habitat when the leaves are out.
By eck Howard, the hill seems a lot steeper to climb now than when we were 15 yr olds, we use to run up it in those days.
