Whilst we are now living in unprecedented times with the coronavirus and self isolation my spirits were lifted on 21/3 at Toad Holes Beck with yet another spring sighting of a Kingfisher.
In fact there was an earlier (19/3) surprise at Caldene fields with another passage Stonchat resting on a wire fence. The first Chiffchaffs have arrived and both are calling with one at TH Beck and the other at Raw Nook NR. The pair of Grey Wagtails are still about which is good news for possible breeding.
A further bit of positive news is the spring bulbs my grandchildren planted in the autumn at Raw Nook Nr are now bustling into life…
