Remarkably the Gannet nests at Staple Newk (as well as the fields, fences and footpaths!) are still proving popular with the Desert Wheatear. Not entirely sure whether or not the impending arrival of the first few Gannets will change things, but for the time being at least the Staple Newk nests are the place to find it.
Sure sign of spring too, is the fact that Tree Sparrows are showing more interest again in visitor centre roof and their favoured nesting spot of the slightly lifted tiles. Also counted 80 on the feeders visible form the back door of the centre, so the wintering flock is enjoying the milder times.
