Spring migrants

Early morning, very early morning 5am on the North Denes and it was raining solidly, all I saw was 1 very bedraggled female Wheatear on the Denes and sea wall back near the car park. Driving home just before the garden centre by Stirrups Lane, a female Marsh Harrier flew low and east over the A12 at 5.40pm. In the evening 6pm isn I saw Rob Wil and we saw 2 fine Whinchats perched on the weeds on the Denes, looked like a male and female. There were also 2 female Wheatears on the Denes. Walking along Marine Parade, a juvenile Starling turned into 5 birds at least 3 were juveniles.
