Northern Wheatears return


Northern Wheatears have arrived in numbers in Cornwall with the first bird being a male at Sennen on 3rd March.  Two more were recorded at Land's End and others at St Gothians and the Lizard the following day.  I was hoping for my own first sighting on the 4th at Davidstow but sadly none had made it this far.  I saw four males yesterday at St Gothians NR.  I guess they had just arrived overnight as they were feeding well and keen to move through.
