Following Marnix haul of flame robins yesterday I decided to see if there were any left on the Hoskinstown Plain this morning. In short, not one. However I did find 4 DIAMOND FIRETAILS perched in some hawthorn trees at the Eastern end of Briars-Sharrow Rd. Although these trees are an invasive weed they do seem to provide very good shelter for finches (even when they are leafless and berryless). I also noted that the SKYLARKS were very vocal along Briars-Sharrow Road. As a further sign of Spring, yesterday I heard the first RED WATTLEBIRD for several weeks just outside my GBS block. (In terms of vernality, this probably balanced out our water supply freezing solid a little earlier in the day!) Martin |
