Unfortunately I no longer have sky cricket which is my favourite sport, it is my protest about Ian Botham being involved. Whilst he is actively involved in grouse shooting and an apologist for their nefarious practices I won't give them any money. I did write to them when I cancelled, but never received a response.

I salute you Bonners. You Forgot the Birds is loathesome.

First orange tip of the year today - on the same date as last year.

I misread bonners’ post and thought there was a sport called ‘sky cricket’.

I saw my first orange tip of the year yesterday, this weekend we are visiting relatives in Norfolk and saw I a brimstone, plus what I think were house martins.

First house martin and swallow of the year for me yesterday, in Cambridgeshire en route back to Norfolk. They're probably around here too, now.

Wheatears have arrived here now, so only the common sands, flycatchers, redstarts, cuckoos and swifts to account for.

Cuckoos have reached Derbyshire. Matlock Golf Course has a large rock on one fairway known locally as the Cuckoo Stone and traditionally a Cuckoo can always be heard in that area of the course. Well this morning tradition was upheld :-)
