Hi everyone, My name is Will Walmsley and I'm a 17 year old non-driving birder living near Wickham in the south of Hampshire. Not much seen today although 3 House Martin over my garden early afternoon were my first for the year and the earliest ever for the garden by just two days. All three woodpeckers also in evidence today along with singing Blackcap and Chiffchaff. Hampshire Year List now 121 highlights so far being Great White Egret, Spoonbill, Bewick's Swan, Smew, Hen Harrier, Water Pipit, Black Redstart and Great Grey Shrike(self-found).
