was watching blue tits darting in and out of the nest boxes on the trees outside the maths-clock this morning - I should have been supporting SATS booster classes, but the blue tits were more interesting ;)

I saw a flying, singing skylark today on my walk, and a hovering kestrel. Nothing else very exciting.

A pair of goosander on the river today. Dippers seem much harder to find at the moment.

A couple of times in the last few days while on my regular riverside run, I've heard what I would have said was a contradiction in terms, a subdued Cetti's warbler. Normally they're in 'volume control turned up to 11' mode. Maybe just having a wee practise to itself before giving it both barrels in a couple of weeks time?

They do seem a bit more muted early in the year, t'is true.

Out with a group at Middleton Lakes today and the Cetti's were in full voice there already, plus we had a singing Chiffchaff. Lots of good spots and over 50 species in total but bird of the day was probably the Avocet. Numerous butterflies out as well, mind I saw a Red Admiral yesterday in the Howgills at over 1500ft.

no owls this evening :( - but lots of bats, seems very early in the year to see so many.
No idea what sort of bat - they are too small and too quick!

Thought Ralph had found that the partridges were nesting early, as he ran to a pile of white things in long grass at the field edge - they looked like eggs to me in the twilight - but were actually golf balls! no idea why or how they got there. was glad he hadn't found a nest though
