@levelsbirder Funny ol year for our Swifts they were 2 weeks late they started flying around the gable end where they breed then they disappeared they reappeared after a week or so and I did see one go into the nest site but I’m still not sure what’s going on on.

My first Wheatears of the year 2 Towntree lane, Lesser Whitethroat and Whitethroat calling . My first Reed Warbler and Swallows, but the highlight was 9 Yellowhammers on freshly cultivated field at Towntree along with 4 March Hares chasing and boxing in April !.

@ClevedonMoths Always remember mine sat for hours staring at a small cave and then two appeared, mind blowing.

@levelsbirder When I think back to the early days and the Friday night telephone grapevine must have been something related to madness involved.

[john rickards @johnrickards2]

@levelsbirder I agree Jeff a cracking bird the only one I have seen in the UK

[john rickards @johnrickards2]

@JulianThomas19 Envious a bird I have always wanted to to see
