More birds arriving

I think they've got it wrong though - definitely not Spring, snowing around the house again now.  But this morning when it was still fine there were 2 Kingfishers calling.  I don't know if they were challenging to establish territory or trying to pair up.  It's great to see them sitting on the power wires.  The other birds (that really don't belong here in the high country) that come every year to breed are the Oystercatchers.  Several pairs about already and looking to nest soon I think.  They are quite successful with their breeding, especially the ones that end up on the lawn.  They just wake us up at the crack of dawn trying to fight off their reflections in our bedooms doors!
