Spot the Purple sandpiper (Calidris maritima), very well camouflaged.
A sunny morning with slight wind from the NE, produced a relatively quiet morning. Highlights included a Purple sandpiper hanging around the Jetty and unusual birds for the site: Jay and Mute swan.
Just 3 Wheatear present near the tip of the peninsula, alongside a Yellow wagtail.
Very little visible migration with just Swallows; 1 north, 31 south and a House martin also south.
Moth trapping: A little bit quieter than the previous night, owing to a clear night, with just 14 species recorded. Phtheochroa rugosana is todays focus, this micro can be common here and the larvae feed on White bryony.
Phtheochroa rugosana
Bird ringing: 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Robin, 1 Spotted flycatcher, 1 Whitethroat.
