I have no actual reports of Bittern for February, but would assume one has been at WSL, the same may well apply for Woodcock around Lavell's or along the Loddon parallel to LFGP.
No reports of Chiffchaff, or Meadow Pipit and no sign of any Shelduck, or Redshank so far and of course we are absent of Siskin and Lesser Redpoll, so if that stays the same, then we only hit 79, 1 less than last year, which is pretty low.
I have been around a lot less so my attempts for Med Gull have been limited.
Not as bad as 2006 & 2007 on 78, 2005 was 74, but I am not sure 2005 was as full a picture as we try to get these days.
With spring migration in mind, it is hard to believe that out earliest Rock Pipit(s) were 2nd March 1983 & 1992, Little-ringed Plover was 6th March 1989, Sand Martin 3rd 1997, House Martin 10th 2013, Wheatear 13th 1983....wouldn't it be nice if we had some early migrants next week.
Oh yes and don't forget March is about the best month for Avocet, our first was 13th 1984.
