You two must be seeing my south flying birds of a few days ago!
Weather really bad here all day. I found a LRP two miles away - but can't scope it from here!!
 
28. Blackcap .
He was on the apple tree at 7.30 this morning the female must be around too ,pleased they are back
after the winter.

First new addition in nearly a fortnight! Was out in the garden trying to add Red-Rumped Swallow (seen plenty locally just not from the house). No joy but did get several Swift for no. 25.

62. House Finch - flyover
63. Belted Kingfisher - flyover
64. Yellow-rumped Warbler - flyover

Migration should start picking up soon...
 
Boyfriend wins birding brownie points again - just spotted No. 32 Great Blue Heron, flying into the sunset.
After plummeting temperatures earlier this week, we are forecast 20C on Sunday, so hopefully some more spring arrivals to report soon.

Ooh! They're on their way! Can't wait for my favourite bird to get here. Maybe two weeks yet here I'd think.
Snow this morning.

Looks like I'll have to "camp out" on the window sill "again" to try and catch you this year H. :-C
 
I'm sure you will.
Snowing again now.
Nice fall of, almost exclusively 2cy male Wheatear at the top today - one full ad Greenland type (?) & a pair of Stonechats with them.
With a bit of luck one might get pushed down the valley!
 
Very strong winds and heavy rain all night didn't augur well for adding to the yearlist, so a surprising sighting this morning, even odder as it was a) heading south and b) was on its own:

64 Yellow-legged Gull

Less than annual from up here, this one is my first-ever spring sighting, it's a local patchman's consolation for missing out on the various goodies being seen around Lac Léman (Lake Geneva if you prefer) and along the Rhône a few kilometres to the south.
