Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

3 herons nests on the Tocil Pools, 5 minutes stroll from my office šŸ˜Š route takes me through wildlife/woodland trust woods alive with birdsong. Work walking breaks are a joy at the moment šŸ˜Š Spotted a Muntjac yesterday too šŸ˜Š

I found a butterfly in the greenhouse today, a Speckled Wood. I donā€™t know if it had been hibernating in there or had just flown in.

I donā€™t recall seeing one of those in my garden before and itā€™s the first butterfly Iā€™ve seen in the garden this year.

My earliest ever swallow was on St Patrick's day (17th March for you across the Irish Sea šŸ€) but not this year. I can't imagine any arriving for a good couple of weeks yet.

Five Chiffs, two Willows, two Blackcaps and one Cettis singing along my route this a.m
Swallows usually arrive here in South East Wales before the end of March--already seen before then this year already and Sand Martins checking out nest holes locally.
Yes flanker, it must have been a Blackcap!

Went across to the Res looking for some of the Martins and Swallows that have been moving through in the last 48 hours and though that search proved unfruitful I did pick-up the consolation of seeing the Black Necked Grebe that appeared during this morning. A new one for me.
