The first time an Egyptian Geese photo has appeared on the blog! 

A cold blustery north easterly to start the morning.

There was little in the bushes this morning but a Willow Warbler was in the bramble scrub in front of the Mine Station before continuing north. Vis Mig was slightly better with 9 Swifts, 2 Swallows and a House Martin heading south, a Siskin heading north but the main event was 2 Egyptian Geese heading west, which are only the 10th site record!

On the sea 7 Sandwich Terns, 5 Little Terns, 4 Gannets headed northbound and 3 Gannets, 2 Fulmar and a Barnacle Goose headed south.


In the moth trap this morning was a Light Brocade, which occurs at Landguard in very low numbers most years.
