With the last week's beautiful weather it is hardly surprising that the first spring migrants have started to arrive. There was apparently a major influx of chiffchaffs a few days ago, and they have certainly found their way to our little patch. The first couple were reported yesterday, and today I counted at least eight singing males.
The resident birds are also in full swing: lots of great tits, robins, blue tits, blackbirds, dunnocks and one song thrush were all in good voice.
Nothing yet for our wildlife survey, which is a shame since I found a couple of brimstones elsewhere a couple of weeks ago. I did see a comma on the newly cut common today, but that doesn't count for the survey. The butterflies on the survey are brimstone, peacock and speckled wood: let's hope some turn up soon!
