    Brimstone just outside Lyme Park on Saturday. Skylarks singing around Lyme Park on Saturday and Rushup Edge on Sunday.

    No Chiffchaff yet - 15th March last year, so might be soon.

    If you turn up the volume there's a chiffchaff calling at the 40 seconds point and a willow warbler at 7 mins 49 secs on this old film...

    A singing chiffchaff was reported on Bradford Birders blog yesterday in iirc Esholt area. The Dales Way near Addingham suspension bridge was always good for chiffchaff but we’ve moved so I’m going to have to listen out on my new patch

    Heard and saw my first Curlew of the year "wheeling" around near Magpie Mine. Nice to have them back from the seaside.

    Woke up this morning with the dawn chorus going 'hammer & tongs'; looked at the clock, just 04.55!
    I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!

    Ptarmigan in absolutely pure white winter plumage - Ben Challum on Thursday. Then a dozen Snow Bunting on Ben More / Stob Binnein on Saturday. Fantastic!
