Blue sky, high white clouds, a light frost and crisp air... feels more like a mid-March morning today and the birds think so too. Skylarks are up high bursting with life, Song Thrushes were singing for the first hour after dawn, Robins seem to be singing everywhere and Cetti's Warbler could be heard exploding in the still air.

A wet Purfleet Scrape...

and the Barnacle Goose is still present

A lurking Cetti's (me)

and one from Bill Crooks earlier in the week

Oh and it is Wellies or nothing if you want to do a full circuit today!
