Todays excitement was almost restricted to the moths traps, a Beautiful Marbled being the first record for the site. Also of interest was a Cypress Carpet, usually restricted to pine forests.

Beautiful Marbled

Bird wise, a couple of Pied flycatchers and a Willow Warbler were ringed as well as a couple of Wrens, Linnets, and Greenfinches. The hot weather and monthly litter pick left for scant records elsewhere. A single Whimbrel, 2 Yellow Wagtails, 14 Crossbills and the odd Swallow being the pick of the bunch.
