A hot and breezy morning, with the temperature staying above 17 degrees overnight.
There have been plenty of baby birds moving around as usual, although somewhat unexpectedly a Woodlark was feeding by the Seawatch hide early this morning. Previous records of woodlark at Landguard tend to be between the 15th February and the 12th May in the spring and the 3rd September to the 17th November in the autumn with no records in between. Its likely that this individual is a dispersing juv although its still an unusual record!
A juv Coal tit and a Great Spotted Woodpecker were the best of the more unusual dispersing juveniles in the bushes this morning.
The Muntjac have reappeared again around the fort, whether these secretive creatures have been here the whole time or whether they've wandered back again is unknown.
The Delicate is an immigrant species that we record in most years but usually later in the autumn.
Ringing: 5 House Sparrow, 2 Linnet, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Dunnock, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Great Tit
