Hello
A dry but breezy interlude in the rain this morning was the time to get out if you could and birds at Harrington Airfield included the long-staying Greenland Wheatear pair and a Grasshopper Warbler singing intermittently. Good numbers today of singing Common Whitethroats and Willow Warblers were joined by a singing Garden Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat.
A singing Common Whitethroat in our small garden this morning is the last new bird on our 'recorded from the garden' list for April. The list suffers from a lack of passage finches this year. Normally I would expect Siskin, Lesser Redpoll and Brambling to have visited the garden feeders during the month of April but we haven't recorded any!
Birds noted in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and towards Blueberry Farm included two Fieldfares, a Little Owl and two Hobbies.
Regards
Neil M
