The dreaded northerlies have stayed with us and predictably resulted in very few new birds in the area. A few Little and Common Terns fed out in the estuary and wheatear numbers remained low at only 4 birds. A Corn Bunting was still hanging around and few Swift and the off Swallow battled through. The show was stolen by the long staying female Serin which finally ventured in to the observatory. This is the first Serin to be ringed at Landguard and the bird was in good shape carrying lots of fat. An Oblique Carpet in the moth traps was only the 2nd site record.
