Seeing Peter's report of the first Redshank of 2014 at LFGP today, made me look up past February arrival dates, whilst there only 10 years when they arrived in February, 6 of those years all occurred within 2 days of today's date, 3 of those in the last 4 years.
27th 1991
27th 1998
26th 2005
26th 2010
26th 2012
25th 2014
Fascinating stuff!
I have been very tied up over recent days, but hope to try and see all 3 Red Crested Pochard soon.
This reminded me that I had a flock of 4 Redshank at LFGP on 26th Feb 2007. Another one for the cluster of arrival dates.
