I did expect a bit more visible migration but very little. A single female Pied Flycatcher was all I could find.
Thinking about what I have not seen here yet Tawny Pipit, Golden Oriole, Whinchat, Spotted Flycatcher and Turtle Dove are still missing. Also Melodious Warbler has not appeared yet.
The winds have mainly been coming from the north so maybe that is holding things up a bit. It is interesting to see elsewhere that Wales has had more Woodchat Shrikes than I have seen here so far.
Weather forecast for next few days is hopeful which is just as well as Stephen Moss is arriving tomorrow and we will be putting in some big efforts to find plenty of birds.
