April 21st

The cold northerly wind continues so we spent the morning where there was a bit of shelter at Netherhale and Shuart. Birds we saw included 9 Goldfinches, 2 House Martins, 6 Blackcaps, 3 Red-legged Partridges, 3 Green Woodpeckers, 3 Cetti's Warblers, 2 Swallows, 1 Ring-necked Parakeet, 1 Mistle Thrush, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Sedge Warbler and 24 Tufted Duck.
