Best day weather wise of the year so far, nice to be out in summer clothes and not wrapped up in your comedy gloves etc... It was Blackcap City today (Police Squad reference there ala Tuba City from The Butler Did It, R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen) being as everywhere I went today I saw Blackcaps (males.) Notable birds spotted at Pype Hayes were Blackcap, (a pair of) Nuthatch, Chiffchaff, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Wren, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Robin, Dunnock, Starling, Grey Heron and Tufted Duck. Notable birds seen at Plantsbrook were Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Chaffinch, Long Tailed Tit, Wren, Robin, Buzzard, Grey Heron, Great Crested Grebe, Tufted Duck, Moorhen and a pair of Mute Swan. It was also nice to see lot's of water fowl on nests including Great Crested Grebes, Mute Swans, Coots and Canada Geese, I counted al least ten nests with birds on them.
