Another Willow Warbler this afternoon just west of Salwarpe.
Singing Yellowhammers between Chatley and Hawford and near Salwarpe.
73 species recorded in march and 78 total for Q1 2017.
This is somewhat less than last year - when 84 species had been noted by this time. The main factor is probably the generally dry conditions experienced this winter. Last years's floods attracted several species of wildfowl etc that haven't occurred yet this year.

A Sedge Warbler sang briefly 3 times from the eastern end of Coney this morning between 05:50 and 06:30 - new for the year.
7 Redwings this morning were the first I've seen for over a week and may be the last I'll see for a few months.
Very quiet the last couple of evenings - just a few Snipes flying out of the reeds at dusk.
