Willow Warbler
After a band of rain just prior to dawn it was a breezy, overcast morning with the odd spot of rain; it brightened towards late morning before degenerating into a wet and windy afternoon. Offshore, a trickle of birds comprised 24 Common Scoter, 18 Common Terns, 2 Curlew, a Gannet, 19 Oystercatchers, 4 Turnstone and 4 Whimbrel.
Elsewhere a lovely bright yellow juvenile Willow Warbler found the nets - hopefully a precursor to a busy August full of them! Also of note were a Little Egret which flew south, 4 Sand Martins, 3 Swallows and 18 Swifts.
Ringing: Wren 2, Willow Warbler 1, Linnet 1, House Sparrow 1
Ruby Tiger is a good looking moth which we catch in low numbers
