Water levels are dropping and there is little flooding of the Tardoire at Fougere and no birds to report.
There's a bit more water at the Bandiat and 2 sand martins were there on the 9th along with 1 snipe and 1 green sandpiper. 11 mallards were flying around but no sign of garganey, a species which has occurred there in small numbers over the last few years ( except 2009)
Nightingales were singing and I saw my first whitethroat of the year.

ReplyDeleteAnother warm sunny day today but with a stiff easterly breeze. A woodlark was singing noisily above the house this morning and I heard my first willow warbler of the year in the garden at midday.
