The pleasant conditions brought a few migrants in, with 15 Whitethroats, 10 Lesser Whitethroats, 2 Blackcap and a Garden Warbler in the bushes, although there were strangely no Phylloscopus warblers about. A wandering pair of Long-tailed Tits were ringed, sadly the outcome of a failed breeding attempt elsewhere. Vis-mig included a Corn Bunting, 25 Swallows, 4 Yellow Wagtails, a Siskin and a Jay.
On the sea 15 Little Terns moved nosily north, as did a pair of Avocet, 4 Oystercatcher and a Common Tern. A Whimbrel and 2 Curlew headed South and a Sanderling was on the Beach.
The White-shouldered House Moth is common in buildings. Its larvae feed on dried plant and animal debris but not on your clothes. Only occasionally do we find them in the moth trap.
Ringing: 6 Whitethroat, 2 Blackcap, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Long-tailed Tit
