Some pictures of todays' Whooper swans, all either on East Holm or Crossland's lake.
All of them had only brief stays, so did provide some good opportunities for flight shots (always a marvellous part of watching them)

A few subdued swifts still clinging on in East Yorkshire. I'll miss the daily three-month spectacle they provide for free

Curlew are present in good numbers in the #LDV again this year and hatching success has been high. At least some of these young have now made it to a good size, with this individual colour-ringed at North Duffield Carrs – found hiding in the long grass with the thermal camera.

Trying to get through some of the classics, but crikey, Robinson Crusoe's a dull old read isn't it? Had to give up after about 30 pages of torture - makes Jane Eyre seem like a barrel of laughs

Good numbers of butterflies on the wing today, so hopefully a much better year for them than last year's drought. April 1st feels quite early for my first orange tip, too

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve
