Two Pyramidal Orchid are on the reserve both in different positions to where they have been noted in the past.
On site 4 Lapwing, Yellow Wagtail & a new adult female Blackcap that is presumably a failed breeder from elsewhere wandering. Heading south 20 Common Scoter, 9 Greylag, 4 Curlew & Oyk with northbound 8 Common Scoter. Juvenile Greenfinch is worth a mention (although they have bred just north of the recording area).
This Elephant Hawk-moth is our first of the year.
