Strong Easterlies again this morning but sunny and pleasant provided you can get out of the wind.
In the bushes 2 Whitethroats were displaying on the Reserve and a 2 Chiffchaffs were in the bushes by the Observatory. By the Warren there were still good numbers of Wheatears with 13 present and 29 Shelduck were roosting on the grass.

On the Sea, a Bonxie was sitting offshore. A Brent Goose headed south while a Red-throated Diver, 7 Common Terns and a Fulmar headed northbound.


The first of the years Shuttle-shaped Dart was caught but it will soon become one of the commonest moths in the traps over the next month.

Ringing: 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Wheatear
