Peter: June 2nd, was probably the last day for migration. I saw only 3 sps of warblers, 2 of them probably breeding in the park (COYE & YEWA), the 3rd one, AMRE, was on its way north. An unidentified Cuckoo flew over the cove, Lullwater. But there is always hope that a rarity visits the park in the next days.
