Saw a kingfisher today, it was sat on a branch and quite a few birders were there with their big cameras. We watched it for ages and it didn't fly off. Saw it (one) later when we went back, just flying down the river.

This morning’s run has included lots of skylarks, several yellowhammer and I kid you not… a swallow! 😀

Just read back to yesterday’s posts and I see they’ve been spotted already!

I was so excited to post I’d seen one I’d not read back 🤣🤣

We heard, but didn't see a cuckoo today. Near Holly Hatch, NF.
We suspected a swallow yesterday close to home, but it zipped past very quickly and only 1.

Today's run had plenty of mippet, skylark, pied wag, grouse and an attack goose, but no swallows yet.

Hear a willow warbler today and some siskins—no sightings of either.

Also heard a willow warbler today although I wouldn’t have known if I wasn’t using the Merlin app, heard and saw lots of skylarks too :-)

I've seen a couple of very early swift reports on Twitter. One in Shropshire I think.
