Great to have another Cuckoo on site all morning with a supporting cast of a fly through Hobby and a first-summer plumage Black Redstart on the jetty. A new female Blackcap will be another failed breeder wandering plus another juvenile Coal Tit paid a visit.


This looks suspiciously like Brachmia inornatella which is a nationally scarce species only known from areas of Common Reed in East Anglia and is the second addition to the site list in a matter of days.

Ringing: 7 House Sparrow, 1 Blackbird, 1 Blackcap, 1 Linnet, 1 Whitethroat.
