Sunday 1st May a.m.
It is the beginning of May but didn't feel like it with a temperature of 4°C,cloudy overhead and a chilly wind blowing.We headed through the village for a walk round the western side seeing a number of common species then on our way towards Harden we saw two
Linnets,Kestrel and
Swallows.Here a bird flew over us and landed in some bushes we got the bins on it to see a
Whinchat, a great surprise which put a spring in our step as we carried on.There were several
Willow Warblers seen and in the distance the yaffling of a
Green Woodpecker,we also heard a
GSW drumming.A
Chiffchaff could be heard, a
Coal Tit and a couple of
LT Tits were moving through together, other notables on route were
Canadas,Mallards,Curlew and
Pheasant.
