Hornet Moth is a nationally scarce species that lives on Poplars that is an expert at mimicry.

Cuckoo still with us but apart from a single Curlew south, 2 Sandwich Tern out then north & a couple of Common & Little Terns offshore no other migrants noted.


Rest Harrow is a Red Data Book species that is only known from two colonies in Kent but as its food-plant is Restharrow it may well now have colonised despite only being recorded previously in 2009 plus an influx in 2018.

Ringing: 4 Goldfinch, 1 Blue Tit, 1 House Sparrow, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Robin, 1 Wood Pigeon.
