occasional note -- 8 April 2011

Summer visitors are here.

The good weather has brought all sorts of things back

- grass snake seen in the copse by the tractor shed
- along with a male redstart
- tree pipits singing
- willow warbler
- pair of blackcaps in the same copse
- swallows and cuckoo heard
- lizards basking all over the place
- holly blue butterflies
- peacock butterfly
- Raven family (3) playing around and chasing off a buzzard


but still

- masses of lesser redpolls
- siskins
- a pair of bramblings
