We had 13 Little Gull, 6 Sandwich Tern, 3 Swallow (first of spring), 3 White Wagtail, 2 Wheatear, 1 LRP (first of spring), and an Osprey over at Seaforth NR Merseyside today. So it looks like spring is back in full swing after a little bit of a lull the last week or so.:t:

Maybe - I saw a Redwing here yesterday so we might be changing to autumn migration!

lots of fieldfare by lakenheath RSPB visitor centre on 6th, and redwing near santon downham on 7th, so our winter birds are still about.
