My first Blackcap of the year was recorded today with a male in sea-buckthorn bushes along the cliffs at Cromer, and which was heard to be quietly sub-singing.
Despite a 50% reduction in temperature and numerous showers, including a few hail storms, the Alpine Swift continues to linger, ranging between the town and the lighthouse. In somewhat warmer and sunnier conditions yesterday it was often seen in the company of a few Swallows, with a small trickle of them moving along the coast in the afternoon.
