Went down the patch this morning at about 6:15.
I saw the usual suspects and most worthy of note was a single black cap, my first of the year, with a great spotted woodpecker nearby, pecking holes into a tree, maybe for grubs, maybe to start creating a larder, whatever it was doing, it was my first for the patch.
Not much later, just after encountering the 1st dog walker, I came across a number of whitethroats, my first for the year.
