Lots of birds around back at Hilfield- the highlights were a pair of great spotted woodpeckers, several treecreepers, 4 singing blackcaps, large numbers of buzzards and some enormous flocks of herring and common gulls (up to 350). One pair of swallows appears to have returned and 10 other swallows passed over. The best two birds of the day, however, were a merlin which passed over the garden and a sparrowhawk which soared high above the house.
A short walk through the woods brought me blackcaps, treecreepers and a singing song thrush.
