Spring really did spring today with the warmest day of the day so far at 19.8c. (my garden). On the wader scrape today Little Grebe, 11 Herring gulls, 2 Common Gulls , 100 + BH Gulls and 2 Redshanks. Elsewhere Goldcrest was singing again from Scots Pine, Willow Tit, 2 Lesser Redpolls, and 10 singing Chiffchaffs. 3 kingfishers, 2 of which were chasing each other around the main scrape all afternoon, the male singing constantly. A Collared Dove flew towards the scrapyards (its quite scarce here)
