This week was the start of quite a busy few weeks, with more spring migrants coming in and generally a lot more observers and reports than normal.
On the bank holiday Monday an Egyptian Goose flew through low to the south and later a Curlew flew over west. There was also a report of 2 Shelduck flying through. There was 2-3 Willow Warblers and several each of Sand Martin and Swallow.
On Wednesday 3rd Ian Rowe saw our first House Martin of the year and later in the day Sandra saw the first Yellow Wagtail of the year.
On the Friday there were 2 Little Ringed Plovers, House Martin, 3-4 Willow Warblers, Swallow and few Sand Martins.
Today another Shelduck flew through north, at least 7-8 Willow Warblers and a good number of hirundines including 6+ House Martins. John saw the first Redstart of the year (a female) and later in the day 2 males were also seen. Also the first Common Sandpiper of the year found by Adrian T, 2 Little Ringed Plovers and another Yellow Wagtail.
