I paid an early visit to the east end of the site this morning. Mainly to check the ski-lake and lagoon for signs of migrants.
Lots of hirundines feeding both low down over the ski-lake and at times going high en-mass, obviously after a movement of insects. Really difficult to get anywhere near an accurate count with such mobile movements. I estimated 80+ probably with ratio somewhere around 30+ Sand Martins, 30+ Swallows and 20+ House Martins. The only other sign of movement were 2 B H Gulls and a single L B b Gull all >W.
One Willow Warbler singing as well as two Blackcaps and another pair together near the lagoon. Chiffchaff seemed to be all over the place.
