Spring is here

While parts of Wales have snow on the ground there are signs of spring at the Teifi Marshes Reserve. One or two sand martins have been seen since about the 8th. March but today is the first day I have seen several sand martins at the Kingfisher Hide. In addition there was a sizeable movement of chiffchaff. Here are two images:

 

As you can see this chiff has a ring. Looking at the figures showing it is likely to have been ringed here on the Teifi.
