Very sad to hear that Derbyshire & Spanish birder Eddie Walker died yesterday. Eddie was a keen lifelong County & local patcher at Ogston Res, Wyver Lane NR, Carsington Water & his retirement in Southern Spain lead to many hours birding new areas. He will be missed. Thoughts are with the family.

I have been wondering if despite the lack of water & squidgy ground if we had a few birds back by now, so very happy this morning.

Yellow-browed Bunting trapped, ringed and released at the Swannery. It's flown to the hedge which runs alongside the Swannery grounds and the bird may be viewable from the permissive path heading west from Grove Lane.
