An overcast morning with spells of rain, so no mist netting. A Reed Warbler was calling from near the 'Icky ridge'. Our Red-legged Partridge made a welcome return after not being seen for a couple days. We also still have our two Ringed Plover chicks present, becoming ever more like their parents, 4 pairs on nests also.
Seawatching produced a small number of observations; 8 Black-headed gulls and a Curlew both south. 2 Greater Black-backed gull flying out to sea.
Moth trapping: 36 Species present across our 3 traps. Moth of the day is the Barred Yellow, a widely distributed moth but occurring locally as the larvae feed on Dog Rose.
