SUMMARY Observations on the spring migration of geese, Lapwings, Swifts, Skylarks, hirundines, White Wagtails, Starlings and Chaffinches were made in 1942 from EL prisoner‐of‐war camp in Westphalia. Most of the passage was between east and north‐east, but bad weather on 9 March caused a temporary reverse movement of Skylarks to the south‐west. Nearly 7000 Skylarks passed to the east and north‐east on the peak day, 14 March.
