Spring, especially, has the advantage of featuring the arrival of summer residents and the presence of late wintering birds.
Migration is more notable in spring than in autumn.
Song gives an extra dimension to this time of the year and recognising birds by song is easier. The entire inland area is green and fresh, although sometimes it can rain for weeks without dry breaks. Beware of the sun, always wear a hat to avoid sunburn or worse. Temperatures can get very hot, especially inland. Over 40 degrees is common in summer.
