Sunday 27th April: Arctic Terns
The weather surprisingly pleasant this morning though getting cooler and clouder towards the evening. There are a lot of passage migrants around at the moment, especially at Farmoor which is seeing Black Terns, Arctic Terns, Sandwich Terns, Little Gulls, Whimbrel and Sanderling passing through. Let's hope some of them stop in at Port Meadow.
3 ARCTIC TERNS late afternoon/early evening. Also 3 dunlin, 2 ruff and at least 20 SWIFTS.
From OXB: "One male Wheatear just N of the floods, also 1 Yellow Wagtail, 2 LITTLE RINGED PLOVER. At least 4 Grasshopper Warblers in Burgess Field".
