  1. Great about the Willow Warbler and that's a nice early Shuttle-shaped!

  2. That Dart bucks the trend Jerry, everything else is late !
    The WW was a nice surprise, they're a rarity in town so I hope this is a good sign that their numbers have increased as they have been in decline for a while around these parts
