Friday March 10

A complete contrast to yesterday weatherwise, grey skies and a light drizzle.

Still, the walk to the paper shop nabbed me a singing Blackcap. Given the dearth of local Blackcaps this winter it is tempting to call this a newly arrived migrant, but there were a couple of possibles in December and January so there is sufficient doubt there.

My walk around Ipsley Alders produced all the usual suspects including four Reed Buntings (one of which was singing), a Lesser Redpoll, and a dozen Goldfinches. The light was too poor for photography, but I had a go any way.
