My annual Willow Warbler in the garden!
2 more on the dog walk.
Also 2 bouncing Wheatear, making it a very decent spring for Wheatears.

First #BBS of the year. First Peregrine ever!
Not sure if the disgusting swivel eyed devils (Gyp geese) are new for my square, but may have to scorch the earth.
Reed Warbler (FOY), Bittern booming.
Then Cake.

#Northantsbirds Clifford Hill for starters today, with the Whimbrel and 2 White Wagtail in situ, plus 3 Common Sand, 4+ LRP and 6 (5 male) Wheatear - could this be a 'Greenland' type? On to the New Workings, with 5 LRP, Common Sand, 2 Green Sand, 2 Common Tern and my first (v. late!) Yellow Wagtail🙂

Must have seen a few hundred Ospreys since my first one at Loch of the Lowes in 1992.
Still exciting even though I probably see 5 a year now!
One circling over the new workings with an entourage of Sand Martins.
Lots more Whitethroats than yesterday.

Probable Bar Wit sat with the Redshank at the new workings, would have been the bird of the spring for me, if I’d IDed it correctly 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Gone as soon as I turned the corner to get a closer view.
4+ LRP and loads of Sedgies and Sand Martins.

Yellow Wagtail this evening at Hollowell Reservoir, one of two feeding on the spillway. First-of-year for me. Seeing these has to be one of the best things about springtime birding. #northantsbirds

Red-throated Diver still at Hollowell Reservoir this morning. Very active, flying extended high circuits; also vocal: repeated cackling flight call and while on the water, a mournful wail. #northantsbirds

A few more Sand Martins and Swallows and intriguingly a Water Rail squealing 🤞 they hang around.
