| male Goshawk |
Some last minute recording today in a couple of 2km squares was rewarded with a fly over male Goshawk. Apart from that a few Crossbills and Lesser Redpolls added a bit of variation to the day. A Robin made an amazing imitation of a Willow Warbler song at one point which stopped me in my tracks.

| White-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus lucorum) |
It was hard to accept that today was technically still winter! Many insects were making the most of the summer like conditions and a few Mining bees were attracted to the Colt's-foot that was in flower but most of the bumblebees I encountered today went whizzing past. The above
Bombus lucorum did stop briefly to inspect a shaded area but my movement soon disturbed her and she was off. Not long after this I did find my first Red Admiral of the year sunning itself on a forestry track. There'll be talk of Wheatear before long.......
