Redstart

A very pleasant surprise - a female Redstart in the garden just now!

Butterflies

Really good numbers of Brimstone, Red Admiral, Peacock, Small Torts already this year. First Orange Tip was on 15th April.
Yesterday (27/4) saw my first Speckled Wood

Lapwing

Good news from Kaat at the GWCT is that both our nests have hatched and the chicks are now on the grassland. This means I can now cultivate up half of the Stone curlew plot on the first so keeping with the management trial requested by the RSPB.
