A quieter day today, wind was from the north east, preventing most nets being opened. Observations were also quiet, with no bramblings or siskins through, but all the regular breeders still present, including a large flock of linnets.

Another fulmar went south in the early hours, but the only goose movement was from 4 greylags heading south also.

Ringing was better than the last few days, with 5 new birds ringed and a control blue tit, and we look forward to discovering where that was ringed.

A different moth was found in the traps today, another common species, though variable, a Clouded Drab.

 

Ringed Birds: 1 Blackbird, 1 Blue Tit, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Redwing
Controlled birds: 1 Blue Tit
