House Martin and Yellow Wagtail

Spring migrants are drifting in but mainly in small numbers. Flying above the Bandiat today was a single house martin along with about eight swallows. The only other migrant there was a solitary green sandpiper. Another of the latter was at Fougère where the flooding is now restricted to a few tiny pools, and my first yellow wagtail of the year was in one of them.
Serins have recently added their song to that of the early blackcaps.

I saw my first wheatear of the year on Oleron on Wednesday.
