The swallows seem to have gone and all our winter residents are back, every evening for the past couple of weeks we've had skeins of geese, swans and other water birds flying over. Today on our walk I saw some Little Egrets, one of whom went after a fish swiming near the surface and got chased off, I think it was one of those fish that are all mouth and teeth, we get lots of them here. I saw Herons, Oyster Catchers and a dipper bird that I can't remember the name of but was on Springwatch.
We have a goldfinch visiting our garden, the robins are singing, the Starlings are mumerating and the sparrows squabbling, the RAF are just noisy.
