Hi All,

Nocturnal migration was light again this week. White-throated Sparrows and
Savannah Sparrows made up most of the 35 calls recorded.

 

The morning recordings presented good evidence that many migrants were
arriving in the early morning rather than during the night. Recordings on
the morning of 5 and 7 May consisted of high numbers of White-throated
Sparrow flight calls. In both cases, calls were concentrated in the third
hour after civil sunrise (about 07:30-07:45 hours) with generally much fewer
calls in other hours. A total of 69 White-throated Sparrow flight calls were
recorded between 07:37 and 07:42 on 7 May. There were only 6 flight calls
recorded during the preceding night.

 

An American Oystercatcher was recorded flying past Cape Forchu on the
morning on 2 May at 00:12 hours. The justification for this identification
and the recording itself can be found here
