The first lesser whitethroat was heard this morning by our assistant warden, and blackcaps and whitethroats have been heard all week - does this mean spring is here?. Other signs include the first peacock and orange tip butterflies being reported in the last few days and yesterday dancing adders were spotted for the first time.
Now we just need to keep our fingers crossed that the nightingales will put in their first appearance during our dawn chorus event tomorrow morning!!
