After yesterdays storms a much quieter day today with warm sunny conditions and a light easterly wind. Apart from lots of young birds taking their first steps out in the world, there was little in the way of migrants. In fact the only migrant of note was a lone Reed Warbler.

On the insect front ,today saw our first Clouded Yellow of the year and also a Pseudoswammerdamia  combinella which is a first record for the site of this micro moth.

Ringing total, 20 birds.6 Great Tit, 4 Pied Wagtail, 2 Greenfinch, 2 Linnet and 1 each of Song Thrush, Reed Warbler, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Coal Tit and Starling.
