Nice patch tick, FF!

No swallow, martin or wwarbler on my patch yet - visited all the usual hotspots this week but not a sausage. on a brighter note, have woken to the sound of singing blackcap for a week or so now.

And not spring- rather than bird-related, but the tadpoles in the garden pond have hatched.

Found the missing chiffs! They’re all in Northern Exile country around Fewston and Swinsty reservoirs :) At least ten heard and several seen including only ten feet above us :)

@steve, I think I've seen your wood pigeons. Coming back from work this afternoon, wood pigeons on virtually every telegraph pole, never seen so many

A dozen Swallows feeding over the house this evening and Chiffchaffs singing everywhere round here today. At last it's starting to feel like spring :-)

No bluebells here; even the wild garlic leaves are still tiny.

But I may have heard my first chiffchaff of the year!
