Serin was unexpected as we have never recorded this species before in early August. Other migrants worth a note include 2 Great-spotted Woodpecker, 2 Reed Warbler, 2 Willow Warbler plus 21 Swallow heading south. A Four-spotted Chaser is always a notable sighting here on a warm sticky morning. The moth traps haven't really picked up following the cold snap last week although they did include the first Grey Dagger noted this year with a Flounced Rustic signifying the autumn is progressing along.
22 birds ringed: 5 goldfinch, 4 greenfinch, 3 linnet, 2 wren, 2 willow warbler, 2 house sparrow, 1 dunnock, 1 reed warbler, 1 whitethroat, 1 chaffinch
