Another quiet day bird wise with the only ones of note being Great Spotted Woodpecker, Grey Wagtail and 2 Barnacle Geese north.

Good numbers of Migrant Hawkers were about today with 20 located, its looking like a good year for this species. In the moth traps was a Cydia amplana (above) a scarce immigrant to these shores and only the fifth year it has been recorded here, also in the trap was a different species of cockroach to our usual species and after following the key we came to the conclusion it was a Dusky Cockroach

Ringing; single Great Spotted Woodpecker, Linnet, Lesser Whitethroat & Whitethroat.
