A short lunchtime stop at Bothal pond hoping for some spring migrants. Unfortunately I had to make do with the locals and didn't even get a sniff of a sand martin On the pond were a few Teal, Gadwall and Tufties but a stiff breeze kept most things in to the sides out of sight.
A few Tree Sparrows were calling around the roadside nest boxes and this Robin sang from the hedge.
No, no Sand Marts for me either, Stewart. They seem to be avoiding me, just like every other spring migrant that`s around the country at the mo.
ReplyDeleteOoh - Tree Sparrows - lovely. Something I don't see "down my way"!
ReplyDeleteThey'll be around soon if this mild spell continues...
ReplyDeleteI would love to see one of them Tree Sparrers on my patch. Maybe this year........
ReplyDeleteTicia / Warren, we do alright for Tree Sparrows up here. Most coastal lanes with scattered trees have them....
