temporarily warm and sunny. little of note, except for good numbers of Swifts and House Martins again; also two swallows through (and one through Clissold Park later) - hirundine passage is continuing even this late in the spring.
a Garden Warbler feeding at the NE corner of the ER is late for a migrant, and a Lesser Whitethroat in the same area is some way off territory if it's the same singing male as seen regularly recently.
