Skipper numbers have been poor this year so far.
Predictably quiet. Southbound 33 Black-headed Gull, 4 Whimbrel, 3 Swallow, Curlew & Stock Dove. Good to find a Collared Dove nest as the numbers have plummeted here this year possibly due to the fact that Mr Peregrine is partial to them. At least one Black Redstart is still with us.
The Festoon is a Nationally Scarce species that we are lucky to see once or twice a year.
Ringing: 1 Blue Tit, 1 Dunnock, 1 Wren.
