Migrants continue to arrive.
The woodpigeons carried on displaying nevertheless. Corn Buntings are a declining species in Denmark, and are only really common in the north west of Jutland. There are 2 to 3 territories on the way, and I have been anticipating my regular jangling bunch of keys on the wires east of the village for a month now. In 1996, a hard winter, the first bird returned on 4 th March. This year I had to wait until 7 th April .
