A very fine Reed Bunting made a brief visit to the garden this morning, the first visit we have had of one of these lovely birds for nearly a year. Like Bazz, we also had visit from a Pied Wagtail. The local Buzzards are displaying well, but there has been little interest in our nest boxes as yet.
We have just returned from a few days in Somerset where it was also bitterly cold, although without the snow! There was little sign of any migrants aside from some very confused Sand Martins. A couple of brief outbursts from a Cetti’s Warbler perhaps indicated Spring may not be far off, but it looks like winter is here for another week or so yet!
