First Osprey, Wheatear and Swallow join Sand Martins and Chiffchaff as spring starts for real.
First Sand Martins arrive, Chiffchaff are in song, it's on the up!
Spring is just around the corner. Meteorological spring does start on the 1st March, so what should we be looking for?
Curlew and Oystercatcher move in along with a sizable Siskin flock.
We are off to a fine start with Bittern present, two Willow Tit reported, over wintering Green Sandpiper and an impressive Starling murmuration.
Starlings are increasing, wildfowl are whistling, reserve staff and vols making habitat improvements and the Belted Kingfisher is being elusive.
The Belted Kingfisher is back! Of course it obviously hadn't gone away..
Huge news of Belted Kingfisher on the Ribble, winter thrush arrivals and more wildfowl interest.
