A Swallow has been regularly singing & displaying to passing females.
A fair north-easterly built up throughout the morning. Cuckoo & Grey Wagtail flew south, 4 Chiffchaff, 3 Reed Warbler & Blackcap on site, Little Tern & Sanderling along the riverbank & a Lapwing on the reserve. This Lapwing might well be the start of autumn passage for this species as failed breeders start moving to moulting grounds as early as the end of May. A Ring-necked Parakeet also paid a visit.
Ringing: 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Blackcap, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Linnet, 1 Robin.
