Other birds around oaks haws this lunchtime included singing Willow Warbler (2), Chiffchaff (2)and Blackcap (1) and a Mistle Thrush singing from the topmost branch of the highest tree on top of Oakshaws ridge.
This evening, a walk along the river found the Moorhen still incubating (How have the local foxes not found her?) and newly flowering Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata), Yellow Archangel (Lamiastrum galeobdolon var. argentatum) and white-flowered Honesty (Luniaria annua). Plants continuing to flower included Ramsons and Few-flowered Leek.
