| The first day of major spring migration saw very good numbers of Wheatears
in the southern half of Great Britain, with records spreading far inland.
Sand Martins continue to arrive, with smaller numbers of Swallows and
House Martins also reported. A small movement of Avocets occurred,
with two migrating Spoonbills in the east.
On the rarity front, a Franklin's Gull was seen in Somerset this afternoon, with lingering rarities including Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Cleveland and Cornwall, Barrow's Goldeneye in County Down, Glossy Ibises in Lancashire and Lincolnshire, Lesser Scaups in County Sligo and County Down, King Eider in Devon, Spotted Sandpiper in Glamorgan and both rarer species of egret still in good numbers. |
