Spring firsts..
Always nice to see your first returning common migrants. On my first day off of my second holiday period, and with the weather looking to change imminently, I thought I'd head to the west wight.
Whilst driving along the middle road towards Freshwater, cruising seemingly along side me was a hirundine - my first swallow of the year. Possibly my earliest one too. I also caught up with some wheatears on west high down, all male ones, on a date that it is quite late for me - I'll blame my recent cold that put me out of action for a bit for that anomaly. Otherwise pretty quiet. Winds are changing to more southerly soon though....
