Swallow - not the best light, but never-the-less Andy M's first Swallow of the year!
Willow Warbler - paler brown legs and long wing tips help in separating this
from the very visually similar Chiffchaff ..
... but the song of the Willow Warbler is very distinctive, being a lovely run
of 7-8 descending notes shouted out from high vantage points

Somehow, it seemed early in the year to be seeing Dandelion clocks!
