This morning's Redstart. A Willow Warbler and a Song Thrush that looks like it had to get up in a hurry for the morning chorus 🤣 |

Great pics  Saw my first swallows yesterday. A pair (?) swooping in and out of the barn/shop at a farm shop/plant centre I visited. The staff and customers didn’t seem to worry them at all

Redstart is a bit of a bogey bird for me. I used to see far more pied fly than redstart in Wharfedale. I need to go to Bolton Abbey soon! Sadly, wood warbler is barely hanging on there and they are a great fave of mine. Need to pay respects to the ancient Laund oak too boltonabbey.com #paganandproud |

Lots of Peregrine based news on the Beeb bbc.co.uk bbc.co.uk Although I am a little concerned about the treatment of said raptors, if the locals are "breading" them! "Local ornithologist and licensed bird-ringer Barry Trevis said: "It is very important to monitor the breading success of the birds, along with their survival rates and movements."" |

How are the St Mark's Flies doing this year? We don't seem to have many.

Warblerfest out alongside the river today - chiffchaffs, whitethroats, blackcaps, sedge warblers all singing their little hearts out. Highlight was first house martins of the year for me, though, a flock of them swooping over a pond.
