This female Blacky is always keen to help with emptying the contents of the moth trap.
Its the time of year where more baby birds are starting to appear with migration grinding to a halt with just hope that a few late bits n' bobs of interest might appear with the forthcoming high pressure about to settle over Scandinavia bringing a light easterly airflow. Today's grounded migrant was a Reed Warbler plus 8 Goldfinch & 5 Swallow south. Offshore southbound 2 Common Scoter, 2 Sandwich Tern, Curlew, Gannet & Oyk with northbound Fulmar. The Curlew is a tad concerning as the first signs of autumn passage in this species can start around now with females & failed breeders making their way to moulting grounds.
Ephestia woodiella can be abundant here but confusingly has changed its scientific name a couple of times in recent years so in your books it may be
E. parasitella or
E. unicolorella
Ringing: 4 Great Tit, 2 Linnet, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Pied Wagtail, 1 Reed Warbler
