Med Gulls are regularly coming & going when one would think that they should be settled at breeding sites by now.
Cool start followed by a glorious sunny morning. Hard work with most migrants appearing to be loiterers or the same Lesser Whitethroat's & Whitethroat's singing away in the same spots setting up territories. New in were Jay, Robin, White Wagtail & Willow Warbler. Very little moving with southbound 5 Swallow, 2 Siskin & Rook. Hangers on are what appears to be the same 7 Wheatears from recent days fattening up prior to the long haul to Greenland & the female Ring Ouzel who is quite easy to see at a range of a hundred yards but becomes extremely elusive if anyone gets any closer.
Any day with an addition to the moth list is a good day & when its as stunning as Great Prominent then it more than makes up for the shortage of migrant birds. It is a species of mature Oak woodlands.
Ringing: 1 Jay, 1 Robin, 1 Wheatear, 1 Willow Warbler.
