The end of a quieter week with most of our migrants now settling down to breeding duty's, coupled with the trees and bushes beginning to leaf up giving them plenty of cover.

                The willow warbler near the Wetland pool was singing again but no sign of yesterdays garden warbler. Good to have the parrakeet after an absence of a few weeks and the grey wag continues to be found on the brook by Meccano bridge.
