A photo taken from the Stenna Hollandica heading out to Holland.

A quiet day on the whole. The numbers of Black-headed Gulls heading south was much lower with only 52 logged. A couple Sandwich Terns and Common Terns were also feeding offshore.

Apart from a juvenile Green Woodpecker, which was busy anting on the Reserve, and then visited the Obs to gain a ring, there was nothing new in the bushes except for the local baby birds.




In the moth trap this morning was a nice example of a Tawny Wave, a Red Data Book species that lives mainly in the Brecks and on the Suffolk Sandlings and only ordains us with a visit occasionally.  

Ringing: 2 Linnet, 1 Blackbird, 1 Dunnock, 1 Green Woodpecker, 1 House Sparrow, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Wren.
