Birds are not exactly piling in but I’ve come across several new arrivals in the last couple of days. These include turtle doves which I heard purring yesterday and today, a golden oriole in my garden, several whitethroat near the wind turbines and a pair of whinchats perched high on the flowering rape in the same area. While I was watching the latter a quail began to call from the wheat behind me.
House martins have probably been around for a while but I didn’t see my first one until this morning when I went to Saint Angeau for bread. They nest at several locations in that village.
