The first Spring migrants have Arrived.

The first reports of spring migrants arriving back in Britain have started to come in.

The northern wheatear was the first reported on Wednesday 17 February.

The Northern Wheatear makes one of the longest journeys of any passerine. It migrates north from Sub-Saharan Africa in Spring to breed in Europe, Greenland, Alaska, Canada and northern and Central Asia. It then returns to Africa in the Autumn.
