First warm day of the year today! I've seen 3 Butterflies already, Small Tortoiseshell and White along with a Brimstone. Bumblee's and Wasps are all starting to emerge and we've already had lots in the Garden. Slimbridge in great weather was just a bonus for photography but not much activity from the Birds I would have liked to photograph today. Ideally would have liked to get some closer shots of Lapwing but compared to our last visit the numbers where right down. I have a feeling that the bright sun may have triggered a responce in most wading Birds to start looking for their breeding grounds. A Robin stole the show today as you can see below and I made the most of having some of our most common Birds like Jackdaws up nice and close.
