Can you recommend any websites that track migration in the English Channel areas.

With Spring coming soon (!) I'm looking for websites on either side of the Channel giving up-to-date reports about what's moving through... and what I can expect to be looking out for here (Channel Islands). Either in general terms, or at specific sites or observatories.


Thanks!

This one's always worth a look to see what's on the move.

....almost as good as ours at CHOG! (link in footer - go to sightings, updated daily - plus we "do" trektellen, John P's link, which is an excellent resource)

Here's a good site updated daily about birds about in and off the Isle of Wight often with reports from sea watching at St Catherines point in the spring which feels fairly stuck out in the Chanel when the wind blows

Some really good sites recommended above. You could also try this - http://www.sos.org.uk/recent-sightings/index.php from Sussex.

Yes this is a really good site. They also have reasonably priced accommodation in the observatory.
