Lovely day here with spring sunshine and migrants passing through. I heard my first Reed Warbler<\/strong><\/span> of the year and then saw it pop up from the reeds. Also my first Willow Warbler.<\/strong><\/span> Blackcaps<\/strong> <\/span>were singing and a few House Martins\u00a0 <\/strong>were <\/span><\/span>over. The best photo I could do is the Chiffchaff<\/span><\/strong> below (with a leaf in front!)\u00a0 We all feel better for sunshine!<\/p>\n

I of course am on a high following my Wembley<\/strong> visit yesterday. A great day and The Hatters<\/strong><\/span> beat The Hatters<\/strong><\/span>!!! It was lovely to be at an occasion with so many families of all generations. My support over the years has seen a few highs and many lows -so\u00a0 when those highs come they are special and are savoured! It is probably too late for the league now but it is the hope that gets you!<\/p>\n

One or two pictures from Wembley<\/strong> yesterday as well below.<\/p>\n
