At long last the winds have finally turned and warmer air is arriving from the south-west. Over the last few days Sand Martins and Wheatears have been trickling in and we expect more to arrive throughout the week. I saw my first Wheatear of the year today in Thetford.
Migration Watch is keen to receive records of all your summer migrants that you see or hear between now and the end of June. We’re not just interested in the first record of each species you record, we want as many of your records of migrants as possible so we can work out when the bulk of birds arrive and not just the first. You can enter all the birds you record on one of our specially designed lists.
At this time of year we are also keen to receive records of Fieldfare, Redwing and Brambling so we can map their departure towards their breeding grounds in Scandinavia. Have a look at the animated map for Fieldfare and help fill in the gaps
(http://blx1.bto.org/smw-dailyresults/results/anim-375-04.html).
To enter records visit the website www.bto.org/migwatch and register as a recorder if you are new to the project. If you have any difficulties please send an email to [email protected] and we will do our best to help you. Migration Watch is happy to receive all your birdwatching records during the spring whether you birdwatch from the garden, local nature reserve, whilst walking the dog or from a visit to the coast.
Best wishes
