Spring passage is at last getting under way. On Wednesday 17th March 4 Firecrests were seen in Othona Thicket, Bradwell St Peter's and today, Friday 19th, the first Wheatears appeared at both Holliwell Point, Dengie and Blue House Farm EWT Reserve, North Fambridge. "A lone Wheatear doth not a summer make" but it doesn't half cheer you up, especially after the kind of winter we have had!
