A change in the weather this morning with the still, blue skies of yesterday now seeming like a distant memory. A strong north east wind and the thermometer not rising above 8 degrees, its no  surprise that the birds have cleared out en mass.

Of note today bird wise, a single female Blackcap control was caught in the Heligoland. On the Reserve, 4 Turnstone were at the Jetty and 23 Whimbrel bravely struggled north offshore.

The moth tap was a little better with the first Dark Sword-grass of the year, it is presumably of migrant origin.
