Lowton Bird Observatory, Day 47
A beautiful day in the garden, the highlight being two house martins which were new for the lockdown garden list and brings the total since lockdown began on 24th March to 51 species. Other highlights today, two rooks, two coal tits, several swift, grey heron and a robin which is making me dizzy going round and round the garden. Obviously feeding young somewhere! Still waiting for a honey buzzard.
About a week ago I added skylark to the list with a bird singing distantly. I've seen these from the garden on passage in the past but this was the first singing bird.
