A mixture of returning migrants and first of the year fledglings today. 2 young chiffchaff were the first for 2024, accompanied by some more young blue, great and coal tits and some more young wrens. Young dunnocks are also a daily occurrence, which is a pleasant change from last year. The ringed plover chicks are still around, the parents doing a good job of keeping them safe so far. A southerly curlew was a sign of the upcoming autumn, before we're even finished with summer.
Evergestis limbata was until recently a rare migrant but is now a regular that has colonised.
Birds Ringed: Blackcap 1, Blue Tit 3, Chiffchaff 2, Dunnock 3, Great Tit 1, Lesser Whitethroat 1, Wren 2.
