Note:
A trickle of Spring migrants are just starting to pass through with ones and two's of the following species shown below. I have added a few likely places to see them based on sightings sent into this Blog over the past few years.
Osprey - Coate Water, Cotswold Water Park and any large expanse of water. Plus if you hear gulls making a racket it could be a raptor and Ospreys aren't exempt from their mobbing.
Little Ringed Plover - Cotswold Water Park on sandbars. For example the scrape on CWP Pit 74 observed from Twitchers Gate.
Sand Martin and Swallows - Any water at this time of year as they will be looking for insects to feed on.
Wheatear - Liddington Hill, Barbury Castle, Blakehill Farm NR, Morgans's Hill, Fyfield Down, Shaw Forest Park.
Ring Ouzel - Liddington Hill, Barbury Castle, Morgans's Hill, Fyfield Down
Chiffchaff - Can be heard just about anywhere as they pass through. Song is a Chiff-chaff, Chiff-chaff.
