Spring 2008 must have been one of the best springs on record for scarce and rare birds.There have been some mega birds found CITRIL FINCH,TRUMPTER FINCHES.BLACK LARK,SPECTACLED WARBLER,EASTERN OLIVACEOUS WARBLER,CALANDRA LARK,DARK EYED JUNCO,WC SPARROW,WT SPARROW,COLLARED FLYCATCHERs ,LITTLE CRAKE,CASPIAN PLOVER,STILT SANDPIPER,KILLDEER,UPLAND SANDPIPER,TEREK SANDPIPER to name but a few, and notable fall of migrants on the east coast last month and the beginning of June with a good influx of Marsh,Icterine Warblers Common Rosefinches,RB Shrikes,Golden Orioles and a few Bluethroats,RT Pipits,Rustic Buntings also one of the best influxes of RF Falcons we have had for sometime.It has also been a excellent spring for Great Reed Warblers,Whiskered Terns,BW Stilts,Citrine Wagtails,Bee eaters ,RR Swallows so i think we have had a mega spring this year could even be better than 1992 which was amazing for birds.
