The main arrival is mid to late April, though last year was rather late. The south seemed to really lack birds, with the only good numbers coming from coastal migration sites, though reasonable numbers were recorded in Scotland.
It will be interesting to see if the trend this year follows the late arrival of 2008 or the more normal arrival of the previous years. The up to date arrival trend can be seen here:

Two heard (one seen) at Writtle in Essex on Saturday. First time I've managed to see one, let alone get a (very distant!) photo!
