There's just a little water left in the flooded fields and five greenshank were making the best of it near Fougère today. There were also two egrets there, one cattle and one little. No sign of the black stork and only a couple of grey herons.
Despite forecasts of much lower temperatures and showers, the weather has remained dry and pleasantly warm (20+ degrees) but with far more cloud cover and the wind has shifted from last week's cool northerly to a much pleasanter gentle south east breeze. Yet there was little visible sign of migration today and I still await the first wheatear, always the definitive bird of Spring for me.
