for 2011 Spring Migration Report.INTRODUCTION
This report shows the first date that a spring migrant/summer visitor was seen in the Costa Blanca area, where it was seen, on what date and who reported the sighting. Birds are listed in order of the date they arrived.
The table will be updated if someone reports the arrival of a migrant on a date that is earlier than the one shown. Members may also wish to add other species to the list.
Any member can submit a report by e-mailing me (Mary) or Malcolm, Barry or Peter who will pass the information on to me to update the website.
Information for the previous year is shown in brackets for comparison.
