Wherever I go I am met with the cheerful song of the chiffchaff. To begin with, I thought they may have been individuals passing through on the migration route north and westwards, but they now appear to be settled and establishing territories. Also heard a cock yellowhammer singing away the other day.
Blackbirds are nesting and a robin's nest in the garden has eggs. However this cold spell will be making it difficult for early breeders and migrants to find insects. The thunderstorm today would not have helped much either though warmer weather is forecast for the weekend.
