A robin in the garden. Nothing unusual in that, I know, but this one literally flicked the fringe of my hair as it flew past!

First frogspawn in our woodland pond.
Also put up the 10 nestboxes in the woods. Blue tits checking them out an hour later.
I spent last night with my twin brother in Derbyshire. We spotted a little owl close to his home in the evening, and heard chaffinch singing in the garden and a nuthatch calling this morning. He saw a barn owl locally last week too; the lucky lad :thumbup:
Two male shoveller ducks on the Leeds & Liverpool in Nelson yesterday. First I've seen for a while, & I didn't expect to find them in town. About a dozen reed buntings today near the Weaver, hanging around in a hedge waiting for spring.
Perhaps it's the local ducking spot :wink:Quote:
