Well April has been the wettest month since the last time it was the wettest month. The cold weather has also inhibited migrants although they are starting to accelerate now. Blackcap has joined Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff and the Martins and Swallows are present although numbers are still low.
The wet is not bad new for all birds; its an ill wind and all that. The thrush family can cope with the wet as this Mistle Thrush can. A car works wonders for these birds as I have found they are quite shy and timid when encountering them in the woods whilst walking. The one in the picture opposite was gathering worms for young nearby.
