A brief sunny spell this morning, before the giving way to a thunderstorm and a downpour before returning to its sunny state.

It was rather quiet on the bird front, the storm brought a few swifts in its wake and 5 Barnacle Geese headed south.


The moth traps have been pretty busy lately due to the warm humid weather which has encouraged plenty of species out on the wing.  In the trap this morning was a Langmaid's Yellow Underwing,  formerly a migrant but in the last few years it has probably colonised to the point and we are now quite blase about them.

Ringing: 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Blackbird, 1 Blue Tit, 1 Dunnock, 1 Wren
