The Little Owl is still around despite the barn where it is usually seen having its front blown off (it was only supposed to blow the bloody doors off) in the strong winds the other day -
The Little Grebes are hanging around despite their nest and 4 eggs being washed away in the torrential rain last week. Maybe they'll try again.
Willow Warblers were singing away, 3 of them, and a Grey Wagtail was bathing on the small spit of land that is still above water level. 2 Swallows were feeding over the water and on the way home.....a House Martin at last!!! Although I've seen several House Martins this year, the one I saw flying around our house is the first one of the year up here. They usually return about mid-April but this is the first year they haven't been seen before the end of April. Worrying times.
