Dull start clearing to a fine winters morning limiting offshore observations to 11 Red-throated Diver north. On site very basic  bird wise with a Woodcock the highlight. Single Blackbird trapped was on the obese side so obviously hadn't come far to reach us.

Ectoedemia erythrogenella is a nationally scarce leaf mining moth that is fairly common here although we have never seen the adult moth. Is it as rare as records suggest or is it just a lack of recorders out looking for it ?

Ringing: 1 Blackbird.
