Tuesday 2nd April 2019


A selection of the expected early April migrants in small numbers included 5 Robin, 4 Chiffchaff, 4 Goldcrest, 3 Wheatear, 2 Blackcap, 2 Black Redstart & couple of new Wrens. Overhead southbound 17 Goldfinch & Redpoll. A Merlin was reported flying north along the beach.


Mullein moth is only very rarely recorded despite the larvae being common in some years. They obviously have more sense than to fly towards moth traps.

Ringing: 3 Goldcrest, 3 Chiffchaff, 3 Robin, 2 Wren, 1 Blackcap, 1 Dunnock.
