The end of May proceeded to be fairly uneventful, with all of the regular migrants settled in or moved on further north to nest and no rarer late migrants unfortunately.
On the 21st and 22nd John had a Little Ringed Plover (somehow I'd forgotten to add this species to the year list!) and a couple of Yellow Wagtails. Also, on the 22nd he saw a Peregrine knock a Swift out of the sky onto the water and following a few failed attempts it managed to pluck the Swift off the surface and carry it away NE. What an absolutely spectacular thing to witness!
On the 30th I had a Common Tern fly through north and Mike Pollard had three Little Ringed Plovers.
