This morning a couple of
Robins were feeding together on the railway tracks - they must be a pair as they would not tolerate each other otherwise. There was a brief snatch of
Blackbird song nearby. There were a few
Starlings around too. I returned in the afternoon sunshine and there was lots of bird activity -
Great,
Blue and
Long-tailed Tits were feeding and a
Dunnock was singing on a branch. My first hoverfly of the year was basking on a leaf - a
Meliscaeva auricollis. Spring has arrived!

At Picton Lane I disturbed a
Pied Wagtail. In Richmond Road some Bittercress was in flower - maybe
Hairy Bittercress.
