New Reed Warbler is presumably a late spring migrant whereas 2 new Chiffchaff are dispersing juveniles. 2 Grey Heron southbound will be fledged juveniles drifting in search of new sites. Yet another Coal Tit passed through suggesting that this species has had a bumper season. Finally a Kestrel is only our fifth sighting this year of a species that we were seeing daily up until last autumn when the resident male died.
Cinnabar is just as likely to be seen during the day as in the moth traps.
Ringing: 10 Linnet, 5 Goldfinch, 4 Dunnock, 3 Blue Tit, 3 House Sparrow, 2 Chiffchaff, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Starling, 1 Reed Warbler, 1 Robin.
