Local patchwork

On Saturday 11th April after it had stopped raining early afternoon, I looked around Corton Old Seawge works, a male Blackcap was feeding near the entrance, as I walked up to the compound a fine Swallow flew low over and west. By the cliffs I saw up to 8 Sand Martins flying around. Back along the west path, 3 Greenfinches (1 male, 2 females) and 3 Chaffinches (1 male, 2 females). Around 3 Goldfinces seen too and the Cetti's Warbler also gave a quick exposive burst from the ditch. By the trees opposite a female Blackcap seen feeding. At Corton ORT, a Great- spotted Woodpecker flew across the track and up into the tree. 2 Chiff- Chaffs also heard singing and a scolding Wren flew up from the undergrowth near the copse.
