An extra day off today - and an opportunity to tidy up the garden (not too tidy). A quick run over to the DIY store at Abbotsinch produced a singing Whitethroat at the top of Penilee Road but sadly no Yellowhammers at Arkleston Farm.
The day spent in the garden was greatly enhanced by a male Whitethroat singing its scratchy song from the area which has been occupied in most of the last five summers (Previous first dates were May 18th 2009, May 14th 2008 and May 20th 2007). Other birds around and about included Bullfinch, Siskin, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff and Magpie (up to 9 inspecting the newly raked lawn) (10,812).
