Oak Beauty is very common in mature woodland but only noted on odd occasions here.
Overnight rain and decreasing wind speeds, produced a stunning sunrise but very little on the migrant front.
1 Yellowhammer, 1 Black Redstart, 1 Stonechat (female), 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Firecrest, 1 Redwing along with best of the rest in the form of 1 Blackcap and 1 Green Woodpecker were seen during the course of the morning.
Offshore, 2 Shelduck, 1 Common Scoter and 1 Red-throated Diver put in brief appearances.
The sunny day produced 1 Sparrowhawk and 1 Kestrel, using the thermals in the afternoon sun. More than one Common Buzzard in a day is exceptional for Landguard, at the moment we've recorded 3 individuals so far today.
Ringing: 6 birds this morning - 2 Great Tit, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Linnet, 1 Blackbird and 1 Blackcap.
