Local patches today

Had lots of good stuff today, started off with my first Swift in Normanby for the year then a Treecreeper in the garden only the second record for the garden list.  I then took drive down Bagmoor Lane and recorded the following in about one mile; 4 Blackcap,  12 Willow Warbler, 6 Chiffchaff, 5 Whitethroat, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 5 Wren, 1 Cuckoo.  Across the road at Normanby Enterprise I had 3 Wheatears - its amazing how they manage to find this scrappy piece of land each year.

Yesterday I did a tour of the Barton area and had my first Turtle Dove, Cettis Warblers and Grasshopper Warbler of the spring - Bittern was also booming well!
