2025 March. Reap Lane Wagtails

As always a bit of a scruffy month. The winter specialities are on their way to their summer residences and our summer birds are just starting to arrive. We had the traditional visit to Cockley Cley on 15th for distant Goshawks plus Woodlark, had a bonus Green-Winged Teal a short drive away at Hatfield Broad-Oak, on 17th, but pride of place goes to a quick visit to Reap Lane on Portland on 24th. Lots of Wheatears, at least 4 White Wagtails, and a cracking Blue -Headed Wagtail. I had some fleeting views up the field and thought that would have to do, but then it reappeared in front of me to give fantastic views (see here for a sample). Surely the start of a cracking spring on Portland!
