Monday 4th April and on the way home from Coventry, I popped into Farmoor reservoir, and as time running out before the gates were closed and locked, I drove up to the reservoir perimeter road. On the way round I came across my first WHEATEAR of the year, and further round Farmoor II was the summer plumage RED-NECKED GREBE.
TOTAL FOR YEAR = 140
Wednesday 6th and again on my way back from working in Coventry, I went to Combe Gibbet Berkshire, hoping for Ring ouzel, none seen but did add RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE, and a fine male REDSTART.

Thursday 14th after finishing my only call for the day in Croydon, I decided to Twitch the Iberian chiffchaff that had been at the Granville nature reserve Telford Shropshire, for a number of days, and again was reported that morning. I arrived just before 13:00, and had some luck, as a birder just leaving told me where to go to view and hear the bird. After a short wait, I heard the IBERIAN CHIFFCHAFF, and then had great views as it fed and sang it's song, I managed to get some record shots and also recorded it's song, a new bird on my UK life list.
