After my week in south Portugal I managed a quick walk around the lanes in my patch today but added no new birds. Spring is well on the way with Skylarks singing everywhere and a pair of Green Woodpeckers displaying near Bradwell. Finally heard from Aberlady, it is 86 species each so far although Aberlady have a few easy birds to see (Great & Coal Tit) so its advantage Lothian so far!
Before heading offshore again I managed to visit Haddiscoe marshes and Fritton wood on the 13th and had a reasonably good day with a good mix of raptors over the marsh including 3 Marsh Harriers, a Peregrine and a Rough-legged Buzzard and in the woods there were a few Goldcrests and a Treecreeper, unfortunately all outside the patch boundaries!
