Lade - cold, dry, cloudy, E2 - Another nippy start to the day, although the wind had relented slightly. We walked Mockmill and outback behind the `Mirrors`, where a couple of Sedge Warblers were singing in the sewer along with Reed Buntings and a Stonechat. Our first Whitethroat of spring was typically reluctant to show in dense scrub, calling and occasionally flicking into view.
Around the willow swamp, Chiffchaff, Blackcap and Willow Warbler also in song, plus several each of Sand Martin and Swallow hawking insects coming off the trees. A pair of Goldeneyes courted on south lake and a steady stream of Mediterranean Gulls passed overhead calling.
