Thursday 1st August 2024


A quiet day, despite promising easterly winds. Highlights were a yellow wagtail perched on the Obs antennae and a summering brent goose heading out to sea. 

More an insect day, with another brown hawker in the compound, joining migrant hawkers, emperors and a black-tailed skimmer. Butterflies are making the most of the hot weather, with common blue, brown Argus, meadow brown and gatekeeper all in good numbers.


Small Fan-footed Wave is a fairly common species that only rarely visits us. 

Birds Ringed: Wren 1.
