A new month a new bird for the year
1st May 15 mid morning mid section
mostly sunny, 5-9°c, 1011mb, ENE 13-19mph
The highlight today was a singing lesser whitethroat in the blackthorn on the lower western border
of the Barleyfield along with 2 common whitethroat near by both singing,also the now resident
whitethroat in the top SW corner. Otherwise a disappointingly quiet morning,maybe the cold NE wind is not to their liking.
