THE Swallows and Martins arrived in numbers from the 20th. The odd early bird could be seen before then but were likely to be passing through going north. February turned out to be a very wet month with the weather system coming form north to south which tends to hold back the birds migrating from south to north. In the last week of the month the odd Crane appeared on the flood plain but did not stay for more that a day. They are probably looking to refuel and rest before progressing north. I am expecting much more activity in the sky in March when the migration is in full swing; hopefully it will stop raining by then!!!
