A pleasant morning with a few waders on the move, including: 6 Knot, 3 Grey Plover, a Barwit, 4 Curlew, a Little Ringed Plover, and 5 Redshank. A count of roosting House Sparrows showed at least 100 roosting at the top end of the reserve, with Linnet numbers also being over 100 today. 13 birds ringed, 3 Willow Warblers, a Reed Warbler, Whitethroat, Blackcap and some local juveniles. A late morning surprise was a British control Sedge Warbler. Tree-lichen Beauty was noted in the moth traps that continue to attract veru few migrant species.
