Lesser 'throats busy feeding young at the moment.

Difficult to know what a Muscovy Duck sitting on View Point Road at 0330 hrs was up to but when flushed it flew of strongly to the north-west. We have previous site records on 23rd January 1987 & 31st March 1991. Todays migrants were single Chiffchaff, Reed Warbler & Willow Warbler plus 14 Swallow that flew south in addition to the 5 birds loitering on site investigating potential nest sites. Offshore 16 Brent & 3 Oyk went north.


Teneral damselflies emerging from the observatory pond are always difficult to sort out.

Ringing: 2 House Sparrow, 2 Linnet, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Great Tit, 1 Willow Warbler.
