Late migrants

Arriving for a visit to the Marsh last Wednesday (19th Oct) I was greeted with low-flying acrobatics from 3 House Martins!! Has anyone else noticed any migrants this late in the year?

  • That is getting pretty late! We did have some rather late swifts this year (nearly into October), but I must admit I've not been out as much as I'd like here (a conference, followed by a week in the Isles of Scilly was a distraction recently). It does appear with the brent geese, ducks on the reserve and winter thrushes I can see as I type that winter is very much upon us.
