First Sand Martins of the spring

Saturday 24th March 2012:

After an attempted roost on Thursday - lovely weather but no birds, another attempt was made this evening. Again lovely spring afternoon, still, sunny - a slightly chilly end. This time 4 birds came in, and Linda and I caught two of them in our double net in the main phrag bed. Also caught 3 Pied Wagtails and 3 Chiffchaff in the  hedge nets. Linda then showed me her astrology app - Venus and Jupiter shining bright and Mars too !

Elsewhere, Dave and Dave B have been up on Clee Hill - so far so good with a dozen pairs of Stonechat located.
