Bird of the day was a very smart and bright Willow Warbler in the south hedge at HGF this evening. It didn't sing but I watched it preening and generally messing around for 10 minutes. The lone Golden Plover was still present this morning and this evening (wonder if it's ill?) and 5 Black-necked Grebes were also still around. This morning a pair of Corn Buntings were on the wires nr Midhops with the male singing - the first at HGF since last autumn.

This morning a Stock Dove was sitting in the garden suspiciously still. I approached it and the bird flew off when I got to within a few feet - it has a broken leg. It was perched on the roof when I got home from work this evening.

Four Corn Buntings were in the usual spots in Culcheth this morning. Two Reed Buntings also in the garden and four pairs of Grey Partridges and 2 Buzzards in Winwick this evening.
