The nature reserve is botanically the best we have seen it for years at the moment - it's amazing what a bit of rain can do.
Southbound 34 Black-headed Gull, 12 Curlew, 12 Swift, 9 Whimbrel, 4 Sand Martin, Gannet & Swallow with northbound a single Gannet. On site a male Blackcap will be a failed breeder wandering & is the first since the last of the spring on 6th June. 3 dispersing juvenile Chiffchaff may have wandered here from as close as Langer Park.
Another addition to the site list, from yesterday, is Grapholita tenebrosana whose main claim to fame is a lack of features.
Ringing: 3 House Sparrow, 2 Chiffchaff, 2 Linnet, 1 Blackbird, 1 Blackcap, 1 Blue Tit.
