After such warm weather it's been a return to winter temperatures. I don't blame the migrants for not coming here!
It's only been in the last few days that we've seen our first Sand Martins and Wheatear although the Chiffchaffs have been singing for a while. At the coast the Black Tailed Godwits are getting into their breeding finery ready to leave whilst the Puffins are just arriving.
Blackbirds seem to be busy collecting worms to feed their broods and the Dippers and Grey Wags are nesting now, so they don't seem to mind this cold spell, and my bird feeders are still popular with the woodpeckers and Jays, like this one.
