House Martin: n/a (2019: 10th May)

Chiffchaff: 31st March (2019: 1st April)

Summer update: I'll no longer be recording the first arrivals of swallows and house martins, as both species have gone from regular breeding species to merely passage migrants. We have seen both species here this year flying over, but it's rather upsetting to know that neither now call this place home. The whitethroat is also a bit tricky as it's seen and heard down by the river rother, so we can't record it's first arrival date accurately.
