House Martins have at last arrived in Dale and have started nestbuiding - about a month late I guess. They were also late last year.
There are a few swifts around Marloes but we are not sure yet if/where they are nesting.
A pair of Spotted Flycatchers were prospecting for a nest site in our garden a couple of days ago - exactly the same date as in 2007 and much later then you would expect.
A note on Blue Tits - our boxes of tits (2 Blue, one Great) have now fledged (all on the same day) but the Blue Tits had very small broods - 3 in each case. How have brood sizes been elswhere in the county? is this a result of the cold winter?
