It is bizarre that I have been bird watching quite a bit in the last few days and yet while I have been out on the bike I have seen some unexpected migrants. I have specifically looked for Wheatears and didn’t see them till I was on a bike ride. I saw a whole group while on a bike ride and quite close as well. Yesterday on a long bike ride I saw a splendid male Redstart by the side of the road (an old picture of one below), Plenty of Swifts and Swallows around as well. Heard  my first Cuckoo of the Spring as well.
