Lockdown day 27 - First Wood Warbler

A lovely sunny day although still with a cool NE wind and Pam and I did a walk up to Beeley Moor. On the way I was surprised, but very pleased to hear a Wood Warbler calling in the local wood. Strange that it never give its delightful trilling song, doesn't seem likely that this would be a female as they generally arrive a week or so later than the males. 
My previous earliest record is 22 April so four days earlier is quite something and continuing the trend in early migrant arrivals. 
As we walked up to the moor a Cuckoo was calling which is a more typical arrival date.
