Two new spring migrant species arrive this week.

Last week saw House Martins and a Grasshopper Warbler arrive. This week Sedge Warblers and perhaps unusually for Endon, a male and female Wheatear were seen on the disused railway line between Endon and Denford. Presumable they stopped off to feed on their way further north. I have never seen Wheatears in Endon before so that's a new bird species to add to my local list.

Last week I heard a Grasshopper Warbler near the John Emery Land, whereas this morning one was heard in the sedgy wetland near Hazelhurst Junction. The Sedge Warblers were also in that area.
