Where are all the Sand Martins, loads of Swallows here but not a Sand Martin anywhere!
They usually appear before the Swallows.
 
Finally saw my first Swifts! Three flying at the top of my road as I was walking home from work. Not seen Martins or Swallows yet but not really been out much looking at the skies recently.
 
Short-toed Larks on Scilly and Anglesey, Temminck's Stints in Norfolk, Lincolnshire and Cheshire, Bluethroat on Fair Isle, Squacco Heron in Somerset, Red-breasted Flycatcher in Norfolk, Kentish Plover in Dorset and Purple Heron in Bedfordshire.

Migration has been very slow up here in the Edinburgh area no thanks to largely northerly wind flow, forcast for temperatures dropping to -5-6 at night over the weekend! YES THATS RIGHT MINUS 5-6!!!:-C
