Temp 10°C to 16°C - some sun in amongst being overcast. The light to moderate NE winds continue, though yet to blow too many birds our way.
Many thanks to those that submit records, however you do it. There are a lot of young birds around now, as well as things like house martins back to nesting sites, so please do add any breeding notes to your records. Please bear in mind not to put any birds at risk, especially those of locally rare breeders and schedule 1 species.
Most common migrants are in now, just waiting for the first Quail of the year, though last year was dire for them, so let's hope this year is better, see the year list here.
