Hilfield 9-10th April

Back at Hilfield, the rooks continued to make their nests. Three mute swans passed over, and several buzzards were around. All the usual passerines were around and a treecreeper appeared to be making a nest, as did marsh, blue and great tits. The song thrush was singing in its usual tree and the first swallow of the year passed over on the 10th. Large numbers of gulls also passed over. No sign of our nesting swallows yet...
