What a beautiful day it is today – a lovely spring day.
The first Blackcaps have arrived! 8 of them in total. 16 Chiff Chaffs were also heard singing, 3 Stock Doves were heard calling, 5 Pheasants called, 6 Nuthatch were noted, 5 Green Woodpecker were seen and heard – with 1 pair observed displaying, 5 Jay were seen, 5 Great Spotted Woodpeckers were heard – with 2 birds drumming, a small group of Siskin were in Alders along the River Len, 3 Treecreeper were heard, and a pair of Little Owls were seen – they were first spotted sitting just inside their hole in the usual old Oak, and then at mid-morning, on a branch just above their hole ‘cuddling’ up, and preening each other – very romantic.
