There was a Lapwing today at a site where I've seen them in previous breeding seasons. Whether they ever breed successfully is another matter. It's Crow Town hereabouts.
Nearby in Allt Olmarch there were lots of Chiffchaffs singing along with a number of Siskins and Redpolls, plus 4 Crossbills and a singing Willow Tit.
An astonishing absence of birds at Pant pool, not even a single Sand Martin and adjacent to a major colony too. I think Liz mentioned that bad weather in the Med. is holding things back.
