2nd Apr 2017: Redpoll

Clive and Jim were out this morning and had a Swallow with Sand Martins passing through north. I was out a bit later and saw the Sparrowhawks displaying over the wood and some very high soaring Buzzards mid morning. In the wood the Willow Tit (possibly two) and Marsh Tits were busy feeding around the large willows east of the wood and the other side of the river. A Lesser Redpoll flew over calling as I watched them, the first one of the year as there were none over the winter period.
