At the Howick house tonight at dusk it was a very mild 14 degrees. Two Pipistrelles fittered around the garden, my first mammal tick and my first bats this year. The stubble field out back has been ploughed. 6 alba Wagtails fed along the furrows, 5 Pied and 1 White. On the coast cliffs 100+ Kittiwakes had returned and were making a right old racket as they staked a claim on a comfortable ledge...now to clean the paint brushes....

I had a white this morning at Lynemouth, eclipsed by whoever got the Water Pipit later.
