Lots of garden connections to be had these days. A gang of up to 20 Starlings has been marauding through the estate looking for Leatherjackets (I wonder if they are adults feeding young or just hungry non-breeders). A Chiffchaff has been adding its song to that of the usual Willow Warbler and a male Greenfinch spent the early evening "wheezing" in the tree over the fence. Woodpigeons seem more active these days, the garden is suddenly full of earthworms (and slugs - Bah!), and the compost heap has become a magnet for tiny beetles and flies. Also around - the first Orange Tip butterflies (one yesterday and one today).
Popped over to Pollock Park for the evening and saw my first 2 Swifts of the year.
