Feel free to paste in by date and location as we did in Spring and we'll see how late they stay this year :)

Interesting to hear about the migration times and dates
Will take note of all what happens now
Dave was saying to me today that he cannot hear the Warblers like the Chiff chaff and the willow Warbler as much as he did. so they are showing signs of disappearing once more
or.....of course they might be having their annual moult!

Are swifts usually as late leaving as early Sept? The skies were full of them a week or so ago, but haven't seen one for a few days now and there is no screeching any more, so I think the ones round here must have left a good month early - shame. Really missing them already, feels like summer is nearly over when we begin losing the migrants.
Best wishes, Jo.

A lovely little visitor. Got a photo but really bad one. You can see its clean yellowish underparts and strong supercilium (just!!)
Pipit

Just a thought, for those who are participating.
Unlike when they arrive there is no need for the Males to sing their hearts out for territories and mates.
Things do appear quiet, but if you don't recognise the Call of our summer migrants rather than the song you will be unable to determine movements!
Also there are plenty of Juvvies about who again won't be singing!
Just something to consider if you don't actually see the LBJ's

Hi Buzz
Thanks you so much. You have confirmed that my smudgy LBJ is a WW - the recording of the WW call you have just posted is exactly what I have been hearing all this afternoon. I thought at first it was a Lapwing!!!

Hi Buzzard
Thank you for the call charts.
A great way of knowing what birds calls to listen out for.
We went for a 2 hour walk today, and we did not hear any Warblers today in our travels. If we hear any on our up and coming travels we will let you know on this thread
The bird songs/calls was lacking a little to be honest - for another year

HI,
our birds will be off fairly soon but continental birds from further north pass through :)
Hi Seymours
I want to mention that we saw a Grey Wagtail close to Pririy Park - where we stay
Approx time: 2pm
Date: 5/8/2010
We scared it off into a tree by a mistake before a picture was possible.
Ooo that reminds me.
