Today on the reserve: a singing
Blackcap near the brook,
Jackdaw over Church Field, 2
Magpies nest-building near the cutting, a
Goldcrest and 2
Collared Doves near Boiling Wells gate and 2 more
Goldcrests along stony path,
Chaffinch,
Goldfinch and
Dunnock along stony path and 2
Black-headed Gulls over Simons Grove.
House Sparrows in scrub over railway bridge.
Along Fairlawn Road
Great and
Blue Tits were in evidence, and my first hoverfly of the year was sat on a dandelion - a
Melanostoma sp. (probably
M. scalare).
Spanish Bluebells were coming into flower at the top of St Andrews Road.
