Having returned from Poznan, I went out for a local walk in considerably warmer climes. Birds sang all around the village, with robins, dunnocks, chaffinches and blackbirds being most vociferous. A party of fieldfares flew overhead in an easterly direction; perhaps the rise in the temperature telling them it was time to a make their way back to their breeding grounds in Scandinavia. A skylark sang as I walked towards Bush Wood as many yellowhammers were heard. A pair of linnets called overhead and a moorhen squawked from the River Ash behind Lordship Farm. 4 mallards were enjoying the flow in the Ash.
Upon returning home I discovered a roost of 37 goldfinches in the back garden. Today’s photographs depict a singing dunnock at the Ford, the end of the hazel catkins and a view of the River Ash south of the village.
