Migrants - wot migrants ! Southbound 11 Black-headed Gull & a Curlew. A new Songie was unexpected and is presumably a failed breeder wandering with a new female Chaffinch probably a local wandering down here from nearby areas to feed as we seem to be having a run of female Chaffinch noted most days recently. Baby birds are starting to wander on their own include a few tits turning up.


Moth traps much busier included two first site records. Eana incanana lives on Bluebells and allowed one quick photo before doing the "offski". The other was Cydia conicolana which is a tiny Tortrix that lives in pine forests that wouldn't sit still to have its photo taken.

Ringing: 3 Dunnock, 2 House Sparrow, 1 Blue Tit, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Coal Tit, 1 Great Tit, 1 Linnet, 1 Robin, 1 Song Thrush.
