We& #39;ve passed the peak of migration for species like Greenshank. Some Greenshank will stay but most move further south. More here:

Many & #39;taymyrensis& #39; Bar-tailed Godwits have already departed for Africa. There will be movements of & #39;lapponica& #39; too, as flocks cross Britain from east to west, after moult.

#Nocmig may pick up #waders such as Bar-tailed Godwit, Dunlin, Knot & Grey Plover, as they cross the country from east to west. New colour-ring schemes are trying to explain movements of Grey Plover. Please look out for them.
