We had a most enjoyable morning in warm sunshine. There were spring arrivals to see and hear, our first being a male Blackcap, with a female seen shortly after. Reed warblers were singing, but from so deep in the reeds they remained out of sight. The same couldn't be said for a particularly showy Sedge Warbler see from the hide overlooking East Marsh Pool. At the same location were Little Ringed Plover, a Common sandpiper and both Great White and Little Egrets.
As the morning progressed we hear and saw our first Cuckoo of the year. There were also singing Willow Warbler and Whitethroats. During the course of the morning we also saw Green-veined White, Orange-tip, Comma and Brimstone butterflies
