Harbingers of real Spring?.....
A really lovely morning to be out, and although the day started overcast it just felt it could only get better, and it did.
On the bird front Skylarks were in full song, a quick survey of just one grazing field showed a minimum of 11 singing males.
The Stonechats are on territory with at least five territories identified, this female just was quite confiding.

What was noticeable was the arrival of what seemed like dozens of Meadow Pipits, there were quite a few in the fore dunes, along with surprisingly, Common Snipe.

Some of the Meadow Pipits will be local birds and there was a fair bit of flight song happening.
A local birder texted? me with the news that two SAND MARTINS had flown in a NE direction over the dunes.
Other wildlife news is of a Hare, the second sighting in two days ssshhhh!!!
