Year tick at Strumpshaw!

Completely true, but sadly just a Common Tern! Lots of Willow Warblers, Blackcaps, Reed Buntings, Chiffchaffs and Cetti's in full song, which is always nice, but no Cranes or Ospreys today!

Some excellent Lesser Black-backed Gull action: what wonderful-looking birds they are! Also in front of Tower Hide were several pairs of Greylags, one of which had young. The adults were incredibly aggressive protecting their little balls of fluff! Great Crested Grebes were full of the joys of Spring, a Sparrowhawk darted across the reedbed several times and a Pheasant was doing Shrek impressions on the riverbank!
