Sal and Adie and I with Adie's friend, have just been to Portugal for a few days, with Hannah away on a school trip to Morocco. Just before we went it seemed spring had sprung properly at home, with Chiffchaff, Blackcap and 2 Willow Warblers singing in the garden on the 9th and 3 Swallows flying through. I managed to succumb to another virus of some sort that laid me out (now doubt picked up in Vietnam), so the week in Portugal was mainly about recovering - I saw a few birds, such as Red-rumped Swallow, Azure-Winged Magpie, Sardinian Warbler, Serin, Hoopoe, Woodchat Shrike, European Bee-eater, White storks, Zitting Cisticola, Thekla Lark, Golden Oriole and Spotless Starling, but now just looking forward to a few weeks of British Spring before the next trip. ....... I've also been a bit lax on updating the Vietnam trip - I'll probably post the first few days and then update a bit more at a time, but I reckon my list for the year is on 858.
