Museum Paris ringed Lesser Whitethroat
Only the sixth site record of Short-toed Lark was seen by just two observers early morning down alongside the boardwalk at the point before departing. A handful of other migrants included 6 Swallow, 2 Wheatear, Chiffchaff, Firecrest, Whimbrel & Yellow wag plus a couple of new Lesser Whitethroat. 8 Male Whitethroat were singing and if they all stay it could be our best breeding tally on record.
Teleiopsis diffinis was one of only a handful of moths to brave the overnight frost & put in an appearance. It lives on Sheep's Sorrel and can be very common here later in the season.
