The most glorious of late March mornings. Forty species at the marsh, some hanging on from winter, like the four agitated Gadwall that flew around the lake, flashing white specula, before splashing down to squabble with their short, deep quacks. Others were very welcome migrants from the new season; a Sedge Warbler calling from the reeds and a wonderful Willlow Warbler, proud in the tree-tops. The latter is just passing through, while the Sedge Warbler will stay to breed. Also of note were a pair of Jays that appeared to be mimicking Buzzards as they called to each other.
