I went to Lymington marshes today, lots of very noisy Canada geese pairing up all over the place and big groups of Brent geese flying over. Little egrets grouping up with one establishing itself in a tree. Also spotted a pair of Egyptian geese.

Two owls tonight, first near town possibly the screech of a barn owl, second on open farmland a classic tawny.

In Faro, Portugal and surrounded by white storks. Impressive birds and a first for me. I spotted a solitary swallow this morning which is making me long for their return home.
We have a pair of storks nesting about 500m from us (also in Portugal) - it’s impressive to see a big flock of them following farmer’s tractors when they are ploughing

Chaffinches are now singing here, and I heard a skylark this morning. There was a starling sitting on a telephone wire, singing away, next to a telegraph (is that what we still call them?) pole, which has a favoured starling nest hole (previously excavated, with precision, by a gsw) in it.

Siskins decided to mob the feeders this morning.
The goldfinches don't like it they can't push them off and they don't just fly off when the goldfinches want them to.

Plenty of spring activity today on my run over the moors. My first annoying a lapwing for the year - though it wasn’t annoyed as if I’d annoyed it a month or so later. Couple of curlews I think too. Two buzzards. And a real treat of a barn owl - bit too far away for a full look - but not seen one before at such a time.
Oh, and millions of squished frogs. All over the place.
