Easter Sunday started with surprisingly pleasant weather conditions, in fact we even saw some sunshine here! This enticed me down to Seaton Marshes where the Borrow Pit showed itself to be alive with singing Phylloscs, including my first ten Willow Warblers of the year...

This afternoon the weather took a turn for the worse. Quick looks around mid and late afternoon showed a few Sand Martins had arrived, with four over Colyford Marsh and 18 over Lower Bruckland Ponds. I've still not seen a Swallow yet this year though, something is clearly holding a lot of migrants up somewhere south of us.
Thank for sharing. We hope your Easter was fantastic. With the weather not changing around here, we are still waiting for spring to come. So we can start seeing birds come back from the south.
