Swallow alarm calls this morning told me two things.
Firstly - that there was now more than one bird back - in fact three.
Secondly - that there was a raptor about and looking up above I spotted a large, probably female, sparrowhawk floating over.
So the migrants are really coming in now.
Chiffchaffs and blackcaps are to be heard in every copse with blackcaps reaching the woods at the top end of the farm yeaterday.
Meanwhile the four Lapwing pairs on the down are fighting off all comers - crows buzzards and of course themselves. I should be spotting a sitting female soon.
