First House Martin


Woken this morning by Wayne telling me he had been woken by a new garden tick - he had peeped through the bedroom curtains to come eye to eye with a Moorhen sat on top of the hedge surveying our pond! As it was a beautiful sunny morning  we decided to check Alkborough Flats this morning (8.00am) however by 8.15 it was heavy cloud and mist and blowing a cold easterly wind!  In our brief stay we had 3 Roe deer appear from the mist cross in front of us but nothing else of any note.  So back home with a quick stop at Bagmoor Lake where we had 12 Sandmartins and our first House Martin of the spring.  Whilst warming up with a coffee noticed that we still have 12 Curlews in the paddock at the end of the garden - they have been here throughout the winter and surely will depart soon.
