Always good to get 3 Whinchat on a spring morning with a supporting cast of 4 Wheatear, 2 Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff & Redstart plus the usual Whitethroats & Lesser's singing their little hearts out. 2 Whimbrel went out then north but nothing else noted on the move. Late news - Spot Fly appeared early afternoon.


Moth traps are producing very little not helped by cool overnight temperatures and easterly winds. Lychnis is now appearing which is a species we just get odd ones of throughout the season.

Ringing: 2 Willow Warbler, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Redstart, 1 Spotted Flycatcher, 1 Wheatear, 1 Wood Pigeon.
