An early walk often pays dividends as the bird song is often at its best, and this time of year is full of anticipation of the newly arrived migrants you might hear.
Our first Paxton Pits breeding bird survey on April 4 did just that and showed up several of these migrants, willow warbler, garden warbler, sedge warbler, swallows and even a distant nightingale.
Another early walk 10 days later, on a glorious sunny if somewhat chilly morning, with a flask of coffee and a second breakfast, we took the path to Diddington.
