The 1st Swallow of the year is always good to get. One thing that is good about recent days is a constant turnover of migrants. New in today were 8 Redwing, 5 Chiffchaffs, Firecrest, Blackcap, Chaffinch, Songie, a couple of Blackies & the first Wheatear for several days. At least 3 Black Reds were knocking around the site in various locations. 2 Jackdaws went high north overhead continuing the good run of records of this species & a first-winter Yellow-legged Gull was with the gulls just inside the dock fence.
