The Dotterel is variably referred to in Annual Reports, including no spring reports at all, but is generally noted as a regular spring migrant in single figure numbers.
Another one of three April records from the archive that I have found from 2013, must be or was a good month for me. Found 7 years ago 16 April at Cockersand. At the time it was the first record for 13 years for the Fylde Bird Club....The Cockersand Dotterel
The Carrion Crow is know to be a clever and adaptable bird, often quite fearless, though it can be wary of humans. They are fairly solitary, found alone or in pairs, but as a group are referred to in a collective noun as a Murder of Crows.
This smart Carrion Crow is a first for us, it invaded our garden to have the place to itself for a few minutes, to pick up a few bread pieces, take them to the bird bath, and dunk them for afternoon tea.
