Have you seen or heard one yet? The reporting rate of Wheatear and Chiffchaff indicate an arrival of both species this week, in line with the first main arrival in the last two years. Fortunately spring-like weather has also been a feature of the week and there were certainly plenty of insects on the wing in the south to provide food for these early arriving species.

After last week's look at Mediterranean Gulls, what better way to prepare for spring than upload the new BirdTrack wallpaper, featuring a stunning adult Med Gull in breeding plumage?
