Warmer weather so more insects out. Several Broad-bodied Chasers have been on the Butts pond recently so presumably a female did the business there last year. Large Red Damselflies are out in reasonable numbers also.
Birdwise there were a few migrants moving through the Recording area. A Spotted Flycatcher was in the Holm Oaks, a Willow Warbler, Reed Warbler and a Garden Warbler were moving through the bushes. The first of the years Great Tit pulli were out of the nest and moving through the Poplars. A pair of Swallows were hanging round one of the Gun Emplacements and 16 Swifts headed south.
Movement on the sea was limited, a Fulmar headed out of the river and then continuing north.
We haven't seen Clouded-bordered Brindle here for six years so when two examples of the form, f. combusta turned up it caused a bit of head scratching as the ones noted in the past have been of the more normal pale variety.
Ringing: 2 Great Tit, 2 Linnet, 2 Wheatear, 1 Blackbird, 1 House Sparrow, 1 Robin, 1 Spotted Flycatcher, 1 Willow Warbler, 1 Wood Pigeon
