Decided to ease myself back in locally with a short session down from Cross Lane via Corporal Lane and Green Lane to home. Turned out rather well, surprisingly despite a quiet start.
4 Meadow Pipit, 1 Pied Wagtail ditto Mistle Thrush & Jay. I got a Moorhen on the Green Lane pond which is a first and 2 Common Snipe were at Cross Lane.
5 BHG, c60 Starling & 45 Lapwing were at High Cross Lane.
On arrival home I went into the back yard and was surprisingly rewarded with a singing Chiffchaff from the trees.
