I've been waiting to write a post as I was hoping to let you know of all of the migrants arriving, but it has still been very quiet after the initial start of chiffchaff's calling. Just a few blackcaps and willow warblers have been seen, along with a lone swallow flying through the drizzle yesterday on Sandy Heath.
Winter birds are still winning out just now, with at least 40 bramblings still around the feeders, many of the males in stunning full plumage, and today two male siskins fed off the bird table opposite the shop.
On the positive side, the weather looks to be improving and warming up after Friday, so the birds may start to move through then!
