jacdaw 20 Apr 4:04pm, 20 Apr 2025 4,826 posts	Quote Pin jacdaw I've just this minute heard my first Blackcap of the year, in the garden. My warbler song recognition is so rusty I had to get Merlin to confirm it.
paulcook 20 Apr 4:17pm, 20 Apr 2025 7,832 posts	Quote Pin paulcook Merlin gave me a grasshopper warbler yesterday. Not sure I’d know what one was though all warblers sound and look very similar to me anyway. Lapwing, curlew, oystercatchers and larks at the top of Swaledale this morning.
J2R 20 Apr 5:20pm, 20 Apr 2025 5,994 posts	Quote Pin J2R A run at the coast today brought my first whitethroats of the year, as well as linnets, LOTS of sand martins, some swallows and house martins, meadow pipits and stonechats. Still no willow warblers, in an area where I expected them (heathland with lots of scrub), but a chat with someone from the local wildlife trust revealed that there are Dartford warblers in the area, something I did not know about. I must go back to investigate.
Red Squirrel 20 Apr 7:26pm, 20 Apr 2025 25,439 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel Pair of shellduck again today. With my new binos, I could clearly see the difference between their bills. This is in a newly-dug large pond near my house. Went for a walk and I could hear lot of birds but just saw wrens, chaffinch, blackbirds fighting, rooks, red squirrel. There’s a lone swan on the distillery pool. Last year’s baby.

paulcook 20 Apr 7:55pm, 20 Apr 2025 7,834 posts	Quote Pin paulcook The cygnets from last year at our local pond were finally sent packing earlier this month / late last month when mother swan found a new nest site (actually she's been picking between two).
