Just Whitethroat to come

fri 8th April 16             morning                mid section

cloudy, brighter last hour,  8-11°c,  1013 mb,  W 6 mph

 Both Ian and myself have had chiffchaff,blackcap and willow warbler in the mid section and Gazz had all three at Dunstall Park, so that just leaves whitethroat to go, as far as our regular summer breeding migrants are concerned. Whitethroat should be with us in 10-14 days. The Loopinfields are a good area to find the earliest.
