The Short-toed Treecreeper continues to linger on at Landguard, seen in front of the Bird Observatory compound. Amazingly it wasn't actually traped today. Other highlights found were 2 Black Redstarts and 2 Firecrests. A Brambling was heard calling. There were 12 Chiffchaffs recorded and 6 Wheataer. A Great Skua was seen migrating south. Also of interest today was a Slow Worm found within the Bird Observatory compound. There were 3 species of Butterfly found; Peacock, Small Tort and Comma. 23 birds were ringed today: 1 female Firecrest, 2 Goldcrest, 10 Chiffchaff, 6 Robin, 2 Great Tit and 2 Song Thrush.
