Awoke to a loud warble coming from the Silverglade woods, similar to a Wren's song in pitch and volume, but with a distinct churr in the middle. I heard the same song last spring and summer. It may be an early Blackcap.
The other notable natural connection was at the other end of the day - a single Pheasant in the first Finlaystone meadow.
Migrants are now piling in further south with Pembrokeshire birds reporting singing Chiffchaffs plus a passing Swallow and 20 Sand Martins. Ospreys have been reported from Hampshire and Hertfordshire, and Garganeys from Cambridgeshire (3 sites), Sussex, London and Berkshire. In Scotland, a Wheatear arrived on Mull and two more were reported from Galloway, while the two Sand Martins in Musselburgh yesterday were the earliest ever for Lothian.
