News from Chris

Chris Ingram was out on Tory yesterday, the 14th April. He reported the following;


'The crossing was uneventful, a couple of Fulmars and Kittiwakes, lots of Razorbills and one Puffin. On Tory were the usual waders plus one Black-tailed Godwit, a female Kestrel, 3 Lesser Black-backs in harbour,a Collared Dove, a Wood Pigeon ( a surprising Tory tick!), 10 Redwings, a Chiffchaff, 2 Willow Warblers, c.10 Wheatears and 2 White Wagtails on the beach. The Pigeon has apparently been around for a few days. No Corncrakes heard yet. As usual plenty of pipits, a couple of Wrens and a single singing Skylark. ' 


Collared Dove and Wood Pigeon, do they migrate? I must have a look at the BTO migration Atlas and see what it says about both species and their migratory behaviour....
