Pied Flycatcher (Allan King)
Friday 10th August 2012
With clear conditions overnight most of yesterdays birds seemed to have moved on with very few new ones in. Only a couple of new Willow Warblers ringed along with a Linnet, Greenfinch and Blue Tit. 2 Pied Flycatchers were in the compound, one ringed, presumably from yesterdays bunch. A Whinchat and 7 Wheatear were out on the reserve, and 1st summer Caspian Gull passed through. Notable was a Grayling butterfly amongst the usual characters, the first since 2006. Migrant and Southern Hawkers were both out and about along with a Common Darter.
