THURSDAY 9 APRIL

CHESHAM (McMINN's YARD)

The first 2009 WILLOW WARBLER for the Amersham District - a singing male - was showing well early morning, along with a singing COMMON CHIFFCHAFF and a COAL TIT.

Up to 3 BARN SWALLOWS passed through during the morning, whilst RED KITE and COMMON BUZZARD were overhead almost constantly (per Chris).
