They're back at last, audible from the garden, 3 males when I went to check their 'summer quarters':
71 Marsh Warbler
An unusual visitor later on, my first spring:
72 Citril Finch
A nice male, wandering from garden to garden before flying off, only the fourth for the garden, all the others were autumn records, between 22 Oct and 11 November.

Big Girl was an early morning visitor this morning. That is what Brenda and I call the huge, female Hairy Woodpecker. She is a pretty regular visitor at our feeders.

A very vocal Great-crested Flycatcher joined us for our BBQ this evening, taking me to 75.

Transformation of woodland into excellent wetland continues - recorded my first ever Reed Warbler last autumn, now have a singing bird holding territory. Follows a pattern developing over recent years of wetland colonization - when I arrived it was closed forest with no wetland birds, but Sedge Warblers now common, Water Rail and Moorhen both breeding again this year, two Great White Egrets last Sunday.
104. River Warbler
105. Reed Warbler
106. Marsh Warbler
107. Common Rosefinch
Quite a number of usual summer birds seem absent - as yet, no Icterine Warbler, Thrush Nightingale, Wryneck, etc.

After 3.5 months away with work I've finally managed to add a few birds this spring despite the slow cold May. A red-legged partridge pair seem to have taken over my patio in my absence!
