I saw my first House Martins and Barn Swallows down near Geneva yesterday but I'll have to wait a while before I see them up here, especially the Martin.
Still, my first Ring Ousel earlier on my walk, just 300m from the house, so watch this space.................

Amy, Brit in Quebec.
No 23. Coopers HawkNumber 70 for all time garden list. Just whipped through past one of the feeders. Thought it had got quiet out there!
Still cool, can still walk across my frozen forest pools, but the meadow pools are unfrozen again and, rather surprising, so returned the pair of Whooper Swans from a week or so ago. Great Grey Shrike still present too, two more White-tailed Eagles overhead, plus a very nice Woodcock on the ground (seventh record on my land, all in March except two).
A notable influx of Rooks today, plus increased Starlings, but otherwise still no large scale migration, dribs and drabs only.
Five additions today, all migrants bar the owl.
47. Tawny Owl
48. Black-headed Gull
49. Woodcock
50. Wood Pigeon
51. Rook

It was a bit fresh here too this morning after snow yesterday afternoon, but it's warming up now, tempting a
49 Serin
to buzz by. Shortly followed by a
50 Skylark
only my fourth spring record here, all have been between 10 March and 11 April.

Ah this one I have hundreds, near non-stop these days, birds passing over, others singing.
Serin by contrast will be tougher - not quite annual, but stand good chance in a month or so.

After grilling every passing Woodpigeon flock this week I finally got the desired result from the last two flocks of the day:
51 Stock Dove
Three or four in each flock, trying to sneak past without being spotted as dusk fell.

Well done Rich, good to see that determination brings its rewards, as it did for us at The Bill this morning, as a pair of Ravens were only the second sighting ever. Almost as rare nowadays as a Richard Prior sighting!

Cheers Ian, I suppose I've become a 'Description Species' down there nowadays
.Still hope to get over for my skua 'fix' sometime this year, though last year's Pöm total doesn't encourage!
