The last couple of weeks has been fairly quiet again but there has been a noticeable increase in activity and migration. Mostly this has been an increase of Chiffchaff, that seem to be in good numbers anywhere you look, and a more regular and larger numbers of hirundines again. The roving parties of tits and warblers etc. has included a couple of Willow Warblers (one singing), Garden Warblers and Lesser Whitethroats.
Yellow Wagtails have started being seen in small number and there has been a few Common Sandpipers. There has also been a large increase in gulls but nothing unusual amongst them yet.
From Friday late afternoon there has been at least one Redstart around but it's quit elusive, and there was possibly two yesterday. Also yesterday I saw our first Spotted Flycatcher of the year.
