Another mixed day, but spring was definitely in the air by mid-afternoon with both the first Brimstone Butterfly and (partially) singing Common Chiffchaff in the Piddle Valley, with pairs of Woodlark also logged at Rempstone. There were still a minimum of 5 Marsh Harrier in Poole Harbour west, and 6 Black-necked Grebe and 2 Slavonian Grebe off Middle Beach.
