No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Swifts at last, Dailie Fields

Plenty greenery down the old station now

A much warmer day with a slight ESE>3 and cloudy sunshine.
Fifteen minutes sky watching from the top of the Dailies this lunchtime produced a steady flow of Swifts moving >SE in twos and threes
along with several Swallows.
Several Willow Warblers were singing down in the Hawthorns which will be worth a check out if ever I get the time.
