More Summer Migrant News

Another House Martin turned up around the house this afternoon; I was beginning to wonder where are the Swallows? I have only seen one, that was on Monday flying against torrential rain. However tonight around 8pm on the way to the town a wave of between 20 to 30 maybe more passed over flying in a north westerly direction. Perhaps summer is now really on its way?  Tony Clark

A Swallow at Aberystwyth Marina and 13 Turnstones on College Rocks this lunchtime. John Woodruff.
I noticed my first Redstarts at Cross Inn Forest yesterday plus a Pied Flycatcher near Nanteos Lake.
Today Swallows at Trisant, Pontrhydygroes and Coed Dolgoed near Pontrhydfendigaid where there were some more Pied Flycatchers and a couple of Tree Pipits.
