Just a quick note of the “first” arrivals that I have had the fortune to encounter over the last week or so:<\/p>\n
3 Short-toed Eagles (together, and screaming like gulls, weird)<\/p>\n
Several Garganey, both male and female<\/p>\n
Willow Warbler singing<\/p>\n
A horde of Swallows and Sand Martins<\/p>\n
Little Ringed Plover, Wood Sandpiper, Black-tailed Godwit and Black-winged Stilt as the wader representation<\/p>\n
2 Egyptian Vultures and a few Black Kites in the Pre-Pyrenees<\/p>\n
Tree Pipits calling, small parties of Yellow Wagtails<\/p>\n
What I haven’t seen, despite looking:<\/p>\n
Spectacled Warbler, Montagu’s Harrier (or even a flukey Pallid Harrier), House Martin<\/p>\n
All the more reason to get out and about!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
