I walked up to Langfield and Gaddings Dam this morning while the
weather was reasonably warm. Not a great deal about as Spring is still
lagging behind the calendar. The leaves on the trees are still not fully
out, our blossom tree isn't fully in blossom yet and the daffodils are
just about in full flower in the back garden. Hoping for the same haul
of birds I saw this time last year was a little optimistic then, and it
turned out that way too.
Linnet - 5
Reed Bunting - 3 singing males
Mipit - a fair number about but not really on a par with other years
Skylark - just 2 singing at Gaddings
Little Ringed Plover - 1 on the shore at Gaddings
Red Grouse - 1 calling
No
Groppers yet (maybe the juncus being flattened by the snow is detering
them?). Never mind there's still time for the year to catch up.
