Local Patch

Watched a courting pair of Long-tailed Tits fly acrobatic figure-of-eight maneuvers in and out of ivy-covered trees; a sign that spring is almost upon us!

A pair of Marsh Tits were singing whilst flitting from shrub to shrub.

A male Siskin was preening high in a tree following a quick dip in a small stream.

A Tawny Owl hooting again (in the afternoon!) from the small wood.

No sign of the drumming Great Spotted Woodpecker this morning.
