Glorious start followed by a warm morning that brought a selection of migrants including our earliest ever Reed Warbler beating our previous earliest by four days (although we only have a grand total of 16 previous April sightings since 1982 as the bulk of reedies pass through in the second half of May & June). Other migrants included 20 Blackcap, 2 Chiffchaff, Black Red, Bullfinch, Fieldfare, Jay, Robin, Willow Warbler & Yellowhammer. Overhead southbound 37 Black-headed Gull, 28 Goldfinch, 5 Swallow, 2 Chaffinch, 2 Meds, 2 Siskin, Jackdaw & Mipit.
Warmer night so moth traps starting to pick up including the first Angle Shades of the year which, despite being common, is a good looker.
Ringing: 12 Blackcap, 2 Linnet, 1 Blue Tit, 1 Bullfinch, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Robin, 1 Wood Pigeon, 1 Wren.
