It has been pointed out that the arrivals and departures of migratory birds are important indicators of the passing seasons. I consequently propose to post notifications about some of these species in the Swansea area from colleagues and contacts. Dr Charles Hipkin has remarked that Chiff-chaffs (Phylloscopus collybila) and Blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla) arrived in the region some time ago. There has been no sign of the Sand martin (Riparia riparia) or the Swallow (Hirundo rustica) as yet.
