9 birds were ringed this morning a Reed Warbler and 3 Blackcaps being the only migrants. The long staying Serin was performing well and moving throughout the reserve calling all morning. Fairly quiet elsewhere with the usual bunch of gulls interspersed with the odd Common and Little Tern off the point. Still a few hirundines moving through as well as a couple of Oyks, a Great-crested Grebe and a Tufted Duck offshore. Invertebrates today included Brown Argus, Small Copper, Common Blue, Small White and Red Admiral butterflies and an Emperor Dragonfly.
