A Swallow Lifts The Spirits

Ogden Water today was very drab with just a pr Herring Gull & a LBBG seen. The woods produced 5 Chiffchaff & a Song Thrush as well as the expected Tits.

I sat down on a promenade bench for a break and am so glad I did. A Barn Swallow flew across from E to W struggling in the headwind. This is my earliest ever record in the UK 😁.

21 Curlew were at the usual fields near Stod Fold. I saw 4 mebbe 5 Peacock Butterflies around Brookhouse.


I have noticed on the last 3 outings that in Queensbury and the areas I visit Greenfinch are being seen and heard more frequently than in the past few years.
