Thursday 13th May

A couple of Whitethroats singing along Gallagher's Gallop this morning, including one in the hedgerow near Kiln Barn Farm - it seems to have been a good year so far for these birds on my patch.  I paid a long overdue visit to Ditton Quarry at lunchtime, a few Blackcaps and Whitethroats but really quite quiet. 


A toad and a Holly Blue were the only other sightings of note.

    I've also noticed that Whitethroats are becoming more prolific. In Cornwall, I found them everywhere.
