This worn Wall, first seen a couple of days back, is on the observatory Buddleja and is our first for three years of this declining species.

Migrants were, once again, difficult to come across with todays meagre offerings 4 Whitethroat, 2 Sand Martin, 2 Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Lesser Whitethroat, Spot Fly & Wheatear. A Tree Sparrow with the sparrows at the cottage could well have been the one from the north end of the reserve a couple of days back.

Twin-spotted Wainscot is a reed bed species that wanders down here on only rare occasions.

Ringing: 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Willow Warbler.
