Sherborne and Hilfield 1st May

Good numbers of house martins and swifts appearing in Sherborne. Back at Hilfield, the swallows have definitely now returned. I went on a short walk around Hilfield, and found lots of swallows, a willow warbler, two chiffchaffs, two blackcaps, eight stock doves, a jay, a kestrel, several treecreepers and nuthatches, a pair of french partridges and a greater spotted woodpecker.
