Sorry, another first in the garden. All the starlings were back, 3 sparrows, and then a goldfinch came. It's been an exciting half hour. And managed to get outside with the camera without scaring them all off.

thanks for all the suggestions, I think it might have been a nuthatch. My description was odd I know, but I liked the comment about no neck that I think is what I was seeing ....... a straight line along its back from tail to beck. Not seen it again but am keeping watch.

Goldfinch, Blackcap singing in garden this morning but very dull on my run route.

Nice DT. Missing the Cuckoos this year. Despite having the habitat we just don't get them here. I need Boris to get the golf course open and then I can go and hear the Cuckoo (amongst other things!) or let me take the van to the west coast of Scotland, I had over two weeks of wall to wall Cuckoos up there last May.

've not heard "my" cuckoo yet this year. whether that's because it hasn't made it home or because I'm not walking the dog as far in the mornings ATM I don't know. Will have to get off my  and go for an early run and see if I can hear it

There was a cuckoo over on the heathland today. I got a brief view of a plain-looking warbler there, after listening to a few warbler songs on my phone I think it was a garden warbler.
I was also trying to identify a song I kept hearing in the hedges along the lanes, managed a brief view of a warbler-shaped bird, this time it had a lighter front than itās back. I couldnāt see an obvious white throat but whitethroat seemed to be the best match for the song that I could find.

Beginning to think out House Martins didn't make it this year. There are some around locally, but all out nests are conspicuously empty

No cuckoos for me this year. We always hear them on a couple of our mountain walks, which obviously aren't happening this year.
