 A similar day to yesterday although with a few more birds moving through. 

A couple of Willow Warblers were moving through the bushes. A group of 14 Crossbills, a Common Sandpiper, 4 Sand Martins and 2 Swallows passed overhead. 

Out on the reserve 3 Wheatears were by the Tank Blocks and a Yellow Wagtail was with the Pied Wags.

On the sea, a Hobby headed low over the waves and a distant Marsh Harrier headed south. A Turnstone, Curlew and a Bar-Tailed Godwit also headed south and 2 Common Terns headed north.


Euzophera pinguis is a common species where Ash is an abundant species, so consequently is a scarce visitor here.
