Thanks Geoff. Really useful information. These sighting suggest that the church is used as a roost probably by Scandinavian birds which winter here, then normally depart during first week in April. (breeding later in Scandinavia than they do here). However the single May record of a pair is interesting and doesn't fit this pattern, so these could be immature birds or birds breeding locally.
