Pebble Prominent(Notodonta ziczac), found in the moth trap this morning, is common and widespread in suitable habitat, though it is not regular at Landguard despite Poplars, the normal food plant being present.
A beautiful day, weather wise,but not so good for bringing in tired migrants. Nevertheless, small numbers are turning up including 4 Whitethroat, 3 Willow Warbler, 2 Reed Warbler and a Lesser Whitethroat. Offshore small numbers of common waders are going south, the best today being a Spotted Redshank.
13 birds were ringed today including, 4 Linnet, 3 Goldfinch, 2 Whitethroat and 1 each of Reed Warbler, Willow Warbler, Wren and Robin.
