Not surprising with this unseasonable cold. Perhaps they'll arrive en masse next week when the milder weather moves in.Originally Posted by Derby Tup

Paper Ears!
Once again Andy, fantastic photo.
The first 3 slow worms of the year in the garden. Basking under the sheet of corrugated.
Big fat badger in the garden this morning. Hoovering up under the bird feeders.
Lots of hares about last night.
Chiffchaff this morning by the Peak Forest Canal just outside Marple. 2 weeks later than last year.
Also Siskin on the nyjer seeds which meant the Redpoll & Goldfinch had to resort to the sunflower hearts. 3 of the most beautiful small birds to visit my garden.
I've been winding down my car windows every time I've passed a suitable chiffchaff spot plus went to local woods on Tuesday and still not heard one yet. I'll get one this weekend. Bring on the willow warblers, black caps, woodies and garden warblers!

Early morning run in Bushy park (London) yesterday morning and saw 10 Waxwings, in the afternoon on the stray Harrogate a flock of Redwings and this mornings dog walk heard a pair of Chiffchaffs!!!! Bring on the summer migrants.
Waxwings!! Nice! Love the Waxwings.
One my run today I had a great view of a Sparrowhawk flying down, actually within, the drainage ditches by the hedgerow! Never seen one quite that low before. It flow right the way down for about 200 metres! It stopped a couple of times to perch on the fence for a little look-see!
