Meadow Brown

 Much cooler today than of late with increased cloud cover and a brisker NE breeze with a touch of chill to it; a feeding flock off the point in the morning provided most of the interest which contained 44 Common Terns, 3 Little Terns, 10 Sandwich Terns, 13 Mediterranean Gulls and 5 Common Gulls whilst 2 Teal flew south.

On the land three juvenile Blackcaps found the nets (they hadn't started their post-juvenile moult yet so probably hadn't come from very far away) and 5 Yellow Wagtails fed on the common with 20 Pied Wagtails.

Ringing: Wren 1, Dunnock 1, Blackcap 3, House Sparrow 2


Another nationally scarce micro is Pima boisduvaliella that will be living on the Sea Pea and Bird's-foot Trefoil
