So good to have a few young Greenfinch on site in recent days.

Southbound 30 Black-headed Gull, 3 Sandwich Tern, 2 Med Gull, 2 Swallow, Canada Goose, Common Gull & Common Tern with northbound 10 Swift, 3 Common Tern,  2 Med Gull & Grey Heron. On site a juvenile Great-spotted Woodpecker paid a brief visit.


Anarasia innoxiella was only identified as a separate species in 2017 following confusion with Peach Twig Borer with a handful of records here from 2016 onward. It lives on Acer (Maple/Sycamore) so could colonise.

Ringing: 6 Linnet, 4 Whitethroat, 3 Goldfinch, 3 Greenfinch, 1 Blackbird, 1 Dunnock, 1 Great-spotted Woodpecker, 1 House Sparrow, 1 Lesser Whitethroat.
