After my last post on Wednesday, a few chiffchaff's and a blackcap have now arrived on the reserve, so at least we have had a couple of spring migrants turning up here during March - just!
It was nice to see a touch of light sunshine this afternoon after the torrential rain of yesterday, and this, along with the calling chiffchaff's gave a hope of better things to come.
Winter is still winning out though, with the brambling flock showing well and a couple of woodcocks reported today. A raven was about and buzzards are soaring over the new heath.
Maybe a few more migrants will turn up in the coming days, although Monday is looking like a very wet one!
Happy Easter,
