A mixed bag

At least three pairs of Long tailed Tits nest building on the Carr

 Spot the pair of Dipper at Bywell Bridge

and a smart Pheasant although still no migrants other than a flock of forty or so Redwing and the odd Fieldfare that Manic M and I chased up the bridle path last evening. Slightly unusual in that it's normally Fieldfare that are the late stayers.

PS. 18.10 Chiffchaff feeding furiously at end of wor road. Spring has sprung.
