More wind today and only 3 new birds ringed, 2 Greenfinch and a Dunnock. Of interest in the moth traps was Small Ranunculus, a species thought to be extinct in the UK until recently. Avian movements included 3 Little Egret, 4 Whimbrel, 2 Turnstone and a Curlew offshore, with 5 Sand Martin and the daily smattering of Swifts heading south. An Emperor Dragonfly on the butts pond was the only Odonata on show in the sunshine.
