Saturday 1st April

Most of the week as seen a steady trickle of Sand Martin with my first Swallow seen on Wednesday which also had a Blackcap singing from the Car Park. Tuesday saw a single adult Little Gull which had morphed into upto six by the next day.

The best bird of the week was a Great White Egret, which unfortunately was seen flying over Blythe Bridge not at the Reservoir.

I went over this morning in the drizzle and there were c100 Sand Martin and several Swallow, there was also another Blackcap.

I look forward to the forthcoming week as things start to hot up. Hopefully we should have a few Warblers coming through and maybe a few Terns.

Keith Barnsley emailed to say he had seen c.26 Sand Martin and a distant Peregrine in the direction of Hams Hall. Plus the Skylark in the lane were still in full song.
