Trittiford Update - Spring

Not much about at Trittiford even most of the Gulls have gone but still had a few enjoyable walks around it is lovely at this time of year, watching birds build nests and pairing up with each other the birds just pop up and start singing It's wonderful.
New in are Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers, as soon as you enter Trittiford all you can here is Willow Warbler :) Two Shovelers Male and Female were still present at the start of April.
Also we have beautiful Treecreepers building nests and Long-tailed tits, and Great Spotted Woodpeckers drilling. Also 2 Swallows on the 19th of April.
No sign of any Swans this week hopefully she has gone of to find a partner lol
Also saw my first ever Mink so pretty hard to believe how vicious they can be :(
The Little Egrets were still present at the Old Mill Pond at the end of March but no sign in April.
