Did see grey wagtail and GSW on this morning’s dog walk
Chatting to a friend in Llani this morning at the site of where he is building his own house when I saw a Pied Wagtail land on the scaffold with a big insect in its bill before disappearing into a gap between two bricks which is waiting for the imminent fitting of a vent. We then watched food deliveries every 2-3 minutes for the next 30 mins whilst we chatted. Not very keen on having birds moving in before he does I had to make him promise not to remove the nest until they have fully fledged or on my next visit in a couple of weeks I’d put his new windows through!
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
The moorhens on our local pond have raised young for the first time in years.
Just back from a lovely evening run during which I saw numerous birds which included Curlew, Lapwing, a small covey of Partridge and the first Yaffle I have seen for a couple of years.

I swear I saw a condor over Edale last night, could have been a large crow tho.
We now have wrens nesting under the fascia on the porch and a pair of pied wagtails in our barn/shed. They are very busy - always returning with insects in their mouths.
Even though I have been lucky enough to have had a couple of 5* bird spots this year, in my neck of the woods there seems to have been a lot fewer birds about this spring, both resident and visitor.
The only exception is the pretty little Goldfinch, which are everywhere, and of which I encountered many on my walk this afternoon.

That reminds me. Pair of bullfinches in the garden the other day. The only time I've ever seen them round our way.
