It's only April so there are only native nestlings about. Things like blackbird chicks can survive a bit of frost under their ma. Current uk temperatures aren't much below average for the time of year.

Lanza birds today.

Sandpiper (common?)
Sparrow (Spanish - who knew there was such a thing? Not me. M & F, although a whole bunch around, just not easily captured in one shot)
And after quite a few fruitless days, that Cattle Egret

Dawn chorus included full lapwing verse today. Wonderful song. Seemed to get a tawny hooting back too.

Seem to be lots of curlews around, I'm sure we never saw this many last year when we first moved here. Just been overflown by a formation of three in full song!

Curlews seem pretty good here, too. Lapwing looking a bit thin on the ground. Tons of Golden Plover.
