This weekend temperatures are around 70 F with a slight cooling breeze from S-Easterly directions perfect for spotting migrants. Should be out looking for Osprey instead of doing this!!!
There are still up to 3000 Pink-feet around and Ruff leks haven't been reported yet but yesterday there was a good passage of Redpolls over-perhaps 50-75 in one hour.
The first reported first Sedge Warbler was heard yesterday evening and there are Willow Warblers, Wheatears, Blackcaps singing in abundance.
Numerous Sand Martins and an odd Swallow has been spotted and, more unusually, 5 Jays on the Golf Course.
Avocet numbers are building nicely but no reported signs of nests as today. They will find they have the company of an Oystercatcher already scraping a hollow right in front of Sandgrounder's Hide and if last year as anything to go nesting Black-headed Gulls too.
Earlier in April a Lesser Scaup hung around with the Tufted Ducks on Rainford's Lagoon.
Get down here quick though-the weather is set to deteriorate later in the week.
