Monday 4th April 2022


A blustery day with lots of rain showers. Finally the wind has changed and some migrants have arrived but we couldn't open nets today. Good observations were 2 red breasted merganser heading south, 2 wheatears on the point (at last) and a few chiffchaffs hanging around the compound. 

4th April is the second latest arrival of wheatears at Landguard, only surpassed by 2003 where they didn't turn up until the 13th! Earliest record was March 9th.

Moth traps turned up no moths and no birds were ringed.
