No, it took me two days to clear my mind from Uni and post about it  .

There can only be one bird for me today - this cormorant next to the Kennet & Avon Canal just west of Reading! Posed for ages for us! My sister came for a walk with us and had never seen one before, she was spellbound!

Super photo of the Cormorant, Claire! A bird I feel sometimes taken for granted at reserves etc!
My bird of the day is a female Blackbird that was gathering soggy leaves from the guttering on the greenhouse this morning! She worked so hard, pity the male didn't help her! Strange that they don't really! Anyway, she kept flying into the conifers so I am hoping that she is building her nest there and not flying straight through to the neighbours garden! Of course I will not look as I don't want to disturb her. I hope she is successful in raising a brood! |

In a field close to Park Lime Pitts in Walsall today I was watching a flock of Golden Plovers feeding as Lapwings flew above them and just in front Skylarks soared and sung, while behind me Yellowhammers chirped away- best birding morning I've had yet. |

Just seen what I think is a Jay from a distance. My favourite spring bird!

The Ruff didn't make an appearance shame as it's 1 bird I'd love to see, but I did get another first-Black Winged Stilt, what a beauty!

A visit to Staines Reservoirs produced a couple of goodies- a Great Northern Diver + an adult Little Gull feeding on the innumerable midges. A Common Tern was my first of the year as runner up. | | | |
