Signs of spring despite the cold damp air. 2 Chiff Chaff singing near Ashcott corner and at least 30 Sand Martins over Noahs Lake at 8.30. At least 7 GWE on the first Meare Heath pool and 2 Bitterns booming. Plenty of Redwings about but no sign of Fieldfares. Bullfinchs in their usual spot along the railway line.
