It seems to be one day on, one day off with the weather at the moment. Today was another fantastic warm spring like day after the rain of yesterday, but there is more unsettled weather to come over the next couple of days.
More signs of spring today with two new wheatears (both male again), a water rail (rare out here), a stunning male black redstart that possibly overwintered as it was in the exact spot we saw one last October and a cracking snow bunting that Lisa found this morning when looking for chough. It is the first logged since 2011 and a rare spring record with most of ours occurring in autumn and occasionally winter.
Most of the chough are on territory now but no signs of nest building yet.
