Two Ticks...

But nothing to write home about. Firstly this morning 2 Sandwich Terns flew south along the coast path just offshore. I haven't done any spring seawatching really so these are rather late on the OFFH list.

Secondly this afternoon a lonesome Swift flew south ahead of a gathering storm. Last year it was June before I saw this species, as it doesnt breed locally so I normally get them on southwards passage in July. Last year though, an hour after my first Swift, a Hobby flew over the garden. I hope this one is an omen...
