Didn't do much birding this weekend. Between shopping with my youngest daughter yesterday in Glasgow ( I outshopped her, which takes some doing) and my Sunday household chores there's been no time. This time last year I was buzzing all over the country, but this year hardly any travel at all. Reason ?......... too bloody expensive ? Now seen 400 in Britain ? Getting old ? No, it's just been a strange Spring. After an initial early flurry of migrants, things have tailed off and indeed there was very little change at Cathkin this morning from a week ago.
Certainly more Willow Warblers and singing birds also louder than last week now that presumably the vocal chords have warmed up. A male Blackcap was singing and showing well in the Big Wood, but I had already heard one earlier in the month at Baron's Haugh. Still no Sedge Warbler or Whitethroat yet. Maybe next week ?
