Missed a couple of weeks due to internet issues, but working again now.
The end of March came round quickly and was a disappointment for me, with the earliest ever swallow and garganey, I was expecting a bigger influx of migrants. There were more birds coming in, but struggling to make it onto my list.
The weekend of 29/30 March only added mealy redpoll but a great white egret was seen by a handful on the sunday on what was a really misty mothers day morning.
It was later at fairburn before heading back on its tour of northern England!
The following weekend was much more successful with 4 ticks on Saturday and a further 3 on sunday!
Willow warbler, blackcap & Garganey were joined by a swallow later on and sunday saw the return of the black necked grebes, little gull and an adult sandwich tern was a Swilly tick for me.
Was a great weekend for many, a brief egyptian goose wasn't relocated until the following week.
