Tales of a Botanical Birder (1 Viewer)

3rd April and the numbers of Chiffchaff have built up and can be heard form various areas of the local patch. No sign of Willow Warblers yet. Blackbirds, Song Thrush and Mistle Thrushes were very active. One Stock Dove in field with Wood Pigeon. Unusual, as not often seen locally.

Some very flighty butterflies too, including Small White and I am sure Red Admiral
Two interesting plants found today Coltsfoot Tussilago farfara (i d'ed with some help on B F) as described in fieldguide flowerering long before there are signs of the leaves and Spring Squill Scilla verna
