Two reed warblers were singing on the reserve this morning, perhaps the previous days birds but could well be new birds in. A solitary greenfinch sang mournfully from the observatory compound before moving on, presumably a failed breeder. Yet another grey wagtail was attracted to the Observatory pond, this time a post breeding adult female, hopefully a successful one. We have done much better for this species this spring than most years. It will be interesting to see if this is continued in the autumn.
Very poor moth trapping due to the cool nights and north westerly airflow. This hasn't stopped the odd Dark Arches from flying.
Birds Ringed: Dunnock 1, Grey Wagtail 1, Goldfinch 1, Linnet 1, Magpie 1.
