My first Scoters heard this year were on 12th March ... they're usually about 2 weeks after I start noticing migrating Redwing calls.
I think we're a bit off the main migration route here Ashley ... lads up Hollingworth / Hadfield seem to do a lot better but I get a lot of traffic noise here, HGVs & emergency sirens so you might be a bit quieter in Heyrod ?? Good Luck with it !

Roger

Roger, I heard the movements over Heyrod last night but heard flocks at 9:30 but they seemed to circle. Heard again at several times between 10 and 11, almost continually. Have been hearing the nocturnal flight calls for many nights but have never been able to identify them. Thanks for putting me out of my misery.

Large movement of Common Scoters heard overhead between 22.00 & 22.15 hrs .... seemed to go over in three flocks.
