Late spring migrants still on the move include Redstart & Robin although if they are heading to the far north in Scandinavia above the Arctic Circle you don't want to arrive up there until the end of May. Other, more expected late May movers were Chiffchaff & Spot Fly. Heading south 29 Swallow, 11 Goldfinch, 8 House Martin, 6 Swift & Little Egret.
