Migration resumed

After a week of cold North winds and lack of time for meto look, I connected with Sedge Warbler, 2 at WSL then 3 Common Terns flying around BSL, then a Whitethroat at the end of BSL viewpoint, then short bursts of Nightingale song well out of sight in Middle Marsh, nice 4 year ticks in one 1.5 hour trip. Now hope to get down early again to connect with Cuckoo and maybe catch up with a Green Sandpiper any day now. I expect Swift, Reed & Garden Warbler will follo in the next 2-3 days, then Hobby and Lesser Whitethroat. After that we just have to hope for good wader and tern migration, as well as making an effort to be up and out early to catch the fly overs.
