A return to the bad old days of the majority of April – calm and clear starts before the cold, NE breeze picks up and makes everything hard work but it is the time of year that birds will trickle in whatever the conditions; the highlights consisted of a Ring Ouzel out on the reserve on the 21st and a Nightingale giving snatches of glorious song from Icky Ridge on the 22nd.
The spread of other migrants on both days comprised low single figures of Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Goldcrest, Whitethroat, Sedge Warbler and Blackcap.
