Our first spot was a pair of Skylarks actually on the ground, unfortunately too far away and too "ground" coloured to get a picture. The sound of them singing on high though was a joy!
Our best spot of the day was a Little Owl perched in a tree. We managed to get close enough to get a really good view of it (and a picture!).
Back at home our garden was visited by our first Chiffchaff.
Here are a few pictures of the day:

A much easier to spot Little Owl!
A magpie with an extremely small stick
(don't think it will do much for the nest)
A beautiful Blue Tit in the garden
Warm and sunny. The waterfowl are gone from the lake. Headed north. We are surrounded by bare water. And all the juncos bailed yesterday and are winging their way to the tundra. It's quiet and lonely - waiting for the first wavw of neo-tropicals within the week.
