    What Spring Migrants have you seen so far, 2022

    Nightingale and Lesser Whitethroat added at Pulborough Brooks this morning, also Willow and Reed Warbler as well as many Blackcaps so intent on chasing each other that they completely neglected the presence of birders. Great views. John

    Tree Pipits and Redstarts in at Thursley this morning, with big bonus male Ring Ouzel that landed in a tree right over my head, chakked for a minute and then started singing! Willow Warblers fresh in this morning too though I'd had them locally elsewhere. No Cuckoos calling yet, from 0730 to...

    Finally a few migrants: Willow Warbler and Garden Warbler at Moor Green this morning, and consequent on being out anyway, a trip over to Searle's Farm Lane GP (near Reading) where a Sedge Warbler was singing near where I parked but my main quarry was an immature Red-necked Grebe, faded plumage...

    Osprey through Moor Green this afternoon; also a local Little Ringed Plover there at last. Otherwise stacks of Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs but still no other warblers! John

    It's still thin around Farnborough: Chiffchaffs in profusion and Blackcaps substantially up in the last few days, but no other obvious migrants. Even Sand Martins and Little Ringed Plovers, normally first week of March migrants for me, have eluded me locally though I picked up LRP at Pennington...

    That was really my point - Chiffchaff is a First of January bird locally (Sandhurst Sewage Farm) but now they are singing everywhere - its plainly a big arrival. When I started birding forty years ago 1 April would have been a good date. John

    It was wintering at the small sewage works at Sidlesham, West Sussex. I'm not sure exactly how much longer it stayed after that because obviously I was after other stuff but it continued through January, occasionally wandering to Medmerry. My first January Swallow. Cornwall has had some...
