After an early morning trip to a garden centre (it seems this is the favourite thing to do in the UK on Easter Monday) we spent a couple of hours along the Severn Estuary. Luckily the cold wind of the last few days had abated.
I’m still limited to how far I can walk and the size of the lens I can carry so we chose two venues which might get us close to the birds. At the first, at Northwick Warth, we were too early to benefit from the falling tide and only managed to see shelduck, common redshank and a solitary pied wagtail. We then drove a couple of miles further north to Aust Warth and saw a common kestrel hunting a vole (I believe) and a stonechat posing on a nearby tree.
Then it was time to plant those new plants and keep fingers crossed not to get a frost!
