A walk round Felbrigg today produced the first Spotted Flycatcher for the year with one singing away from the trees at the back of the lake, virtually a year to the day that one arrived there last year.
A Reed Warbler was singing away from the ditch that runs to the south of the lake, the first time I have recorded one there, two drake Mandarins flew over, and 1+Cuckoos were still calling from the trees. Also despite the cool and showery weather a few Broad-bodied Chasers were still patrolling the stream through the meadow to the north of the lake.
