I'M BOARED, I'M the CHAIRMAN of the BOARED - Iggy Pop

 The day started with the loudest and best attended Dawn Chorus of the year which even included a

NUTHATCH
and a couple of yelps from a passing
GREY HERON
and if that were not enough both John and Dave disagreed with my identification of the recent
EXCAVATIONS
as compared with Badger's
which they both thought, without consultation, to be that of
WILD BOAR
a creature that has only been seen once in my lifetime with these images showing that
Magic Moment from Estonia
and from the Solar Panel Compound Moth Trap a
First for the Year
GREY SHOULDER-KNOT
bringing up the 15th species of the year along with the return of a
DOR BEETLE
plus a couple more
OAK BEAUTIES
and Best until Last
across the drizzle and gloom
we happened upon
our first
True Migrant Bird of the Year
this male
WHEATEAR
we will be hoping for better images as the weather clears and more birds move in!
