This last week of April maintains the cold, windy spell. The school Bluetits have built a nest but don't seem to be in much of a hurry to lay any eggs. Saturday was again quiet, with little on the sea and not a lot on land. The early purple orchids are beginning to show some colour and early forget-me-not covers the moat.
In the moth trap has only held 12 species fit the month, mostly Hebrew Characters, Small & Common Quakers and a few Early Thorns and Early Greys.
A drive out to Park Wood on Sunday, via Moor lane found only 2 Nightingales, at the far end of the wood and 1 singing chiff chaff. Walking back along a different path gave a real surprise with a Tawny Owl sitting out next to a squirrel drey. The flowers are really coming on with wood anemones and primroses throughout and bluebells beginning to paint the ground blue.
