May Fare

A week of balmy May weather with some SE winds and rain mixed in have ensured reasonable numbers of phylloscopus warblers moving through, both Willow and Chiff-chaff.
A Lesser Whitethroat was the first of the year this morning at Kirkton, whilst there have been a continued range of expected Spring arrivals, including the entrance of Swifts on the 6th.
2 Flava wagtails have frequented Meikle Loch intermittently, with all the White Wagtails departing en masse a few days ago.
The images show a strikingly bright Chiff-chaff, on the edge of the reserve, which took a second day before it sang as a classic and non-rare Chiffy.
Just goes to show the extent of variation possible.
