Rock pipit are ace parachuters too. I love watching ripit parachuting at Lyme Regis when we’re down seeing my in-laws

I had another wander around the patch of woodland below the house today and found at least four singing Chiffs including getting to see two have a right Dunnock style punch-up across two trees! I've never had them down as fisticuff merchants before?

Saw a female swan on her nest with half a dozen eggs today She started to cover them up with broken reeds as i watched, i don't know if this meant that she had just laid them or if she was about to grab lunch. |

Couple of pied wagtails darting across my path on my run today. Also heard and saw a bird singing high up in a branch right next to the beach last night. Quite a complex and varied song. About the size of a starling with a longish tail, brown back feathers and a lighter front. Hard to get a better view as it was mainly in silhouette. Any clues?

Saw a greenfinch on the feeders for the first time in months. The number of chaffinches on the ground around the feeders has increased recently too.

Scribbs not much to go on. Song thrush maybe? Thrushes sing repeated notes in little bursts RSPB website has bird songs. Trying to learn one a day is fun

Song thrush it was DT. Thank you I made a little recording on my phone and compared. I'm such a new birdwatcher that it really helps to be pointed in the right direction. |
