Revtangen BO April 28th-May 1st

The wind changed into more easterlies, at least for parts of the day on most dates, but the temperatures are low and the migration has been blocked by rain to the east - in any way migrants are not reaching us in any numbers. There was a small arrival of warblers in the 29th, much too strong wind on the 30th and SE turning SW on May 1st.
