THE succession of cold northerly winds has meant that .summer migrants have been slow to arrive. So far I have seen several sand martins, the first two in late March, just two swallows, a single wheatear and one chiff chaff. Once we get a warm period with southerly winds, they will flood in. I was informed of one spectacular migrant flying up


the Ribble in the late afternoon of April 10th. An osprey in the Sawlcy area caused all the black-headed gulls, redshanks and oyster-catchers to take flight, which must have been an exciting sight for the lucky few who happened to be in the right place at the right time. I had been by the Ribble earlier in the day, but downstream near Hurst Green. My only local sighting of an osprey was several

years ago at Stocks Reservoir, although 1 believe that they do pass through the district on an annual basis. Sad to say, the pole on the island at Stocks was felled in a gale last winter. The wheel oh top never did serve its intended purpose of acting as an osprey nesting platform. In more recent years it was usetl mainly by the cormorants, attracted by the fish stocked in the reservoir, to dry their wings. The loss of the pole has not deterred the cormorants, who now use the shore at the northern tip of the island. Two races of cormorant occur in Northern Europe.


One (carbo) nests on coastal cliffs; the other (sinensis) nests in trees around the Baltic and south through the Continent, but not in Britain. In the breeding season, the latter.is quite distinctive, with much more white on the head and neck. In the middle of March, four out of 11 birds were of this race and one was still present last Sunday. Could Lancashire see the first British breeding record for this race? Turning to winter visitors which should be depart­


Modern thinking is to continue feeding into the breeding season. Greenfinches, in particular, suffer heavy mortality at this time of year, as native seeds become harder to find. They are certainly taking advantage of what I provide.
