After the lords Mayor show.

After the excessës of yesterday it was a bit like after the lords mayors show today. I did not get out until 10 am having been to Ashleworth , plenty of action there , the same cannot be said of here.A singing BLACKCAP was a nice start,a bit further up the road a SAND MARTIN was a nice suprise,3 BUZZARD generally being given a kicking by the local crows, a couple of singing SKYLARK, PIED WAGTAIL over, and just 3 MEADOW PIPIT today the rest having moved on .The nicest suprise came when a CURLEW was heard calling from the direction of Staunton, 2 RED LEGGED PARTRIDGE,1 singing WILLOW WARBLER and a singing CHIFFCHAFF completed todays line up. Down the road at Ashleworth I managed to see the first REDSTART and WHITETHROAT of the year and it was heaving in WILLOW WARBLER , CHIFFCHAFF, and BLACKCAP. The next few weeks are going to be great, so remember to keep your eyes and ears peeled .
