Well spring has sprung in Ripon this week, sightings of a pair of Comma and a tortoiseshell Butterfly and heard a Chiffchaff and a Blackcap.

Loads seen today up the Washburn valley, deer in the woods near Thruscross, grouse on the moorland, Oyster catchers (about 50 of them) and rabbits on the banks of Thruscross, cormorant in Fewston, a brightly coloured greenish bird a bit smaller than a dove seen flying over Thruscross (any ideas anyone?) and a woodpecker in the valley just above Lindley bridge. Cracking day for it
