Fewer house martins here than usual, Flanker :( we've never had them under our eves for some reason but I'd say only about 1/3 of the usual number are back to the houses where I usually see them.

Bird song started at 4.33 this morning.

I heard both parts of an owl call last night, but not in the conventional written way of “too-wit too-woo. It was the other way round, which I think was the male call first followed by the female’s response.

The goldfinches seem especially brightly coloured this year, one flew up in front of me this morning and the yellow was like looking into the sun by mistake and not almost being blinded!! :)

Goldfinches are a constant delight in our garden at the moment.

Listened to a garden warbler for some time yesterday. Lovely song, and I was able to make out the difference from a blackcap's song quite clearly when heard alongside each other. Also, a cuckoo on my local patch giving it some welly - the closest and most sustained cuckooing I've ever heard there.

Fantastic time of year to be out running, the birdsong is amazing.

Lovely walk to the park this morning to take some photos. Saw and photographed a wren, blackbird, moorhen and blue tit. Also saw squirrels, goldfinches and a pied wagtail on my way to get milk.
