SPRING AT LAST

Willow Warbler 
Wheatear 
Common Sandpiper 
Common Quaker 
Salticus scenicus (I-spot id)

Spring has finally arrived over the last few days. There was a pretty major fall at Beddington and over London yesterday. I managed to get over there today and quite a good haul of migrants: 1 Woodcock, 15 Wheatear, 15 Swallow, 5 Sand Martin, 1 Reed Warbler, 1 Willow Warbler, 2 Chiffchaff, 2 Blackcap, 6 Whitethroat and 1 Common Sandpiper.
Finally a few moths and a few more bugs appearing.
