Spring at Branton

Saturday evening saw us walking around Branton Ponds with the dog,2 Pochard were on the East pond along with a single Great Crested Grebe.On reaching the West pond we met George Dodds who said he had just seen some hirundines,at that moment we were treated to a fly past by several Sand Martins,2 Swallows and a single House Martin,surely a sign that spring is finally here. On a non ornithilogical note Saturday also produced 7 Adders and 2 Slow-worms.
