Check out the temperatures showing the arrival and departure of the warm air.
1st and 2nd May saw rising temperatures from warm air brought up from the south. Today temperatures have dropped and a reduction in passage was noted. Waders in Sand Bay brought the only noteworthy news: 30 Bar-tailed Godwit (25 past the bay up river), 2 Grey Plover flying past the bay up river, 3 Knot, 5 Avocet, 200 Dunlin, 60 Ringed Plover, 15 Whimbrel, 2 Sanderling, 1 Turnstone and a Common Sandpiper. Whinchat and 8 Wheatear were found on the beach with just a dozen Swift over and 3 flava.
