March 31st
Well a busy day with 2 Sand Martin over the house first thing , a walk round Soil hill was different as it is now covered in grass not a piece of bare ground anywhere , plenty of Skylarks , Mipits , Buzzard (1) and a couple of Curlew.....Then down to Cromwell bottom for a Swallow ( my first ever March Swallow in Calderdale) and a Kingfisher which was my 100th local species for the year, then home and another Sand Martin over 5 Buzzards and a Sparrowhawk....Leo and Ring necked Parakeet............and early returning waders , good Waxwing and Whooper numbers made for a great start to the year with 101 species at the end of March .. ...........

Doing well on the count Andy. Hope you get the record this year - getting anywhere near 150 is a tough call in Calderdale.
I was going for a 100 before the first of April and the first March Swallow was a bonus( Gordon Denisons ideas from a few years back )......150 is too stressful , you have to go for everything......
