Monday 26th March

What looked to be a cold, misty day when I looked out the window this morning turned into a lovely, sunny walk in to work. I think I probably felt the first warmth of Summer today, and there could be nothing better than an exaltation of Skylarks to lift your spirits on a Monday morning! A reasonable number of species this morning (29) including a female Bullfinch, one of which I've not seen on this route for over 3 weeks now. Goldfinch were still noticeable by their abscence...couldn't even find any body parts!
