Migration was still slow today, though with some notable 'firsts' for the year, namely swallow and common tern. Another sandwich tern made its way north. A brambling was briefly present and a black redstart was singing from the fort.
The early morning sanderling flock that departs with the arrival of the first dog walker of the day has been a regular sight recently, not something that has been this regular in previous years. Numbers have so far peaked at 44 birds, and its possibly only due to get lower as birds leave north OR get higher as migrants join the flock. We wait with bated breath for the number change . .
Moth numbers were slightly up, with 3 common Quaker and a Hebrew Character.
