A bit of coverage at the farm late in the day revealed the first
Whitethroat of the spring bursting into song briefly on the south side of Owl Meadow. Broadfield hosted three
Wheatears in Broadfield, including a male showing features of the 'Greenland' form
leucorhoa, and the pair of Red-legged Partridges. A Willow Warbler was singing in Lunch Wood and a Mistle Thrush was seen. Eight Swallows, a Grey Heron and five Mallards flew over.
