Time to start this year's thread of odds and sods (Last year's Odds & Sods HERE)
Today a large flock of 40 or so Redwings descended on the fields around our local parkland and although they were pretty skittish and distant I hard cropped a few pics for you ....
and a blue tit landed nearby !

April 1st is the start of Butterfly monitoring season, as usual I always try to get 1 site donjon the first day weather permitting and permit it did. 21.5 degrees, hardly a breath of wind and glorious sunshine. Only 1 peacock but quite a few other flying and scurrying things about including the 1st Bee Fly that I have knowingly seen, a warbler that may or may not have been a chaffwillow - it didn't offer to sing and my photo is destined to 'Bad" thread and this handsome chap who I was able to observe for a good 5 minutes before my walking companion stared to whine. I don't think I've seen one quite so early in the year before. His throat is just starting to color up.
