Large Red Damselflies are finally starting to appear.

Classic early May selection of migrants in very low numbers including 6 Swallow, 5 lesser 'throat, 3 Wheatear, 2 Whitethroat, 2 Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Common Tern & Skylark plus the loitering Jackdaw & a visit from a wandering Buzzard. The Skylark is probably the most interesting as long gone are the days when several pairs bred.

Vine Moth is a Nationally Scarce species that we can do very well for.

Ringing: 1 Blackbird, 1 Blackcap, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Whitethroat, 1 Willow Warbler.
