A breezy start, with the wind eventually dropping a couple of notches by mid-morning.

The surprise of the day was a Spotted Flycatcher feeding in front of the observatory this morning. The run of Coal Tits has continued, with another individual calling loudly from the Holm Oaks.
Vis-Mig included 61 Swifts, 4 Swallows and a Sand Martin all heading south.

On the Sea, 2 Golden Plover and 4 Curlew headed south and a Sandwich Tern headed north.



Agapeta zoegana is one of the better looking micros. The larvae feed on Common Knapweed and only rarely visits us, despite being listed as a common species.

Ringing: 5 House Sparrow, 3 Linnet, 1 Pied Wagtail
