Three dippers on yesterday’s dog walk - one on the Worth and a pair on the beck
Great tit very vocal everywhere, mistle thrush and a nuthatch too earlier in the week. Definitely a feel of spring in the air

5 more mountain Hares over the weekend.
Very noisy in our garden the last few days with bird song
Did you see the Country file on why Mountain Hares are a problem for driven grouse moors in Scotland. Another incidence of me shouting at the TV. What a load of bollox from the Gamekeeper.
Yes I posted quite a few links to the slaughter on my fb pageQuote:

I've seen golden plover and lapwings this week. still waiting for the curlew though. Andy won't be happy though until his swallows/swifts and house martins are back :DQuote:
