Having spent Easter looking out for migrants in southern Portugal, I expected to find hirundines (Swallow and martins), Whitethroat and Sedge Warbler here in force on my return. Not so however; Blackcap and Willow Warbler are the only species back in any numbers - here in Thetford at least - with several other migrants running late, by comparison to recent springs.
