First garden spring migrants

Finally our first spring migrants of the year arrived today, with five swallows, six chiffchaffs and up to eight willow warblers (a garden record!)seen from the garden. On top of that a peregrine and sparrowhawk went over, and there were good numbers of stock doves, goldcrests and long-tailed tits around. That, combined with meadow pipit and collared dove, took the garden year list to 54.
