On Thursday a very young Wheatear was seen along the river wall. This is not our earliest ever but the downy plumage suggests that it has possibly only travelled from somewhere like the Brecks in Suffolk / Norfolk. This one was quite obliging and allowed Brenda a close approach.
The first Whinchats have also been seen locally today along with a couple more Wheatears so keep your eyes open if you are on the reserve this weekend....
