Another month, the same old story. Dave and I went to Morton Bagot and saw pretty much the same birds as we saw last time. Shelducks, Teal, and Lapwings remain at the flash field. There are still plenty of Fieldfares and Redwings. Not much sign of spring.
Grasping at straws, a party of 16 Herring Gulls and nine Lesser Black-backed Gulls was probably our highlight, although I suppose seeing three different Red Kites and at least seven Buzzards was also better than usual.

My garden has produced heightened levels of interest this week with a Wren building a cock's nest in a bird box on the side of our house, and both Robin and Blackbird being seen carrying nesting material.
March is always a waiting game and its a pretty safe bet that things will improve.
