Today, (Friday 29th) there were Redstart, Willow Warbler, Linnet and Pied Wagtails absolutley everywhere. I dont think I have seen so many Redstarts in one day! I dont know if its new arrivals or a good breeding season last year. Heard a larger number of Yellowhammer as well. Hopefully a few more terrotories up here.
We seem to have a brand new Sand Martin colony as well. Not had one before and now we have more than 12 Sand Martins flying around the old mines looking very likely to set up home!
