Serin still with us. 119 Swifts, 11 Curlews, 9 Black-headed Gulls, 3 Oyks, 2 Swallows, 2 Sand Martins, 2 Siskins, Common Tern, Little Tern, Whimbrel & a Redshank all went south. Apart from that it's baby bird time with a dispersing young Chiffchaff presumably having come from not far away as this species has never been proved to have bred here. One bird i will mention is the Song Thrush by the reserve entrance who has been singing his head off since late January & has still not found a mate - ten out of ten for effort !
