Another quiet day with northerly wind. A few migrants of note, a fieldfare, white wagtail and a siskin. The fieldfare was a brief visitor to the observatory trees, as was the siskin a few hours later, a female type that was very anxious about being alone. Small number of birds ringed, the most notable of which was a woodpigeon, as its been a month or so since the last capture.

Moths are starting to pick up however, with several of the usual suspects in the traps, and our first Small Quaker of the year. A common species at this time of year, but not here where it is barely annual.


Ringed birds: Chiffchaff 1, Song Thrush 1, Woodpigeon 1
