Warm, dry and cloudy, SW2 - The past few days has felt very much as though spring migration is just about over and that we`ve slipped into summer mode; even the garden moth trap has picked up of late due to the humid overnight conditions. Having said that a few waders were still passing through Burrowes last Friday, mostly Sanderlings and Dunlins along with singles of Little Stint and Curlew Sandpiper, plus a first summer Little Gull amongst the Black-headed Gulls. Hobbies are still present in double figures across the peninsula with three noted at Lade and others over farmland around New Romney this weekend. Mediterranean Gulls were regularly heard `mewing` high over the town and a `kettle` of five Buzzards attracted the attention of the Herring Gulls yesterday afternoon. The local House Martins are back and actively nest-building around the apple estate while it was good to see a Mistle Thrush feeding second brood fledglings on the town park this morning and hear a distant Cuckoo calling.
