Garden birding is becoming quite tough going at the moment. It's the perfect time of year in many respects because birds are moving on their spring passage but these glorious sunny days with clear blue skies mean that everything is just passing through miles up and out of view. What we really need is a nice cold front coming through bringing some drizzle to bring birds down.
However while we can dream of rain, sunny days do bring out the invertebrates and several species of butterfly have been seen around the garden, most notably holly blue which not only was my earliest ever, it was also my first in April. Other species have included peacock, small tortoiseshell, small white, orange tip and speckled wood.
The lockdown bird list currently stands at 46, all time garden list 57.
