A decent month then, in large part due to my three days cruising down the Great Ouse. A couple of summer migrants from the middle of the month and I'd expect to pick up at least another 3 of those in May (swift, housemartin, blackcap).
Ought to be an interesting weekend next week too: we're in the Lakes together with competitors Akira and Fiona. Anyone know where I can obtain a stuffed hoopoe to place on the lawn?
New total: 64 species
