A very quiet day today. Wind continued from north, but a few notable species seen, including an arctic skua north early doors, a yellow wagtail present briefly on the reserve and the ring ouzel continuing to run rings around birders and photographers alike.
Ringing was poor, to put it politely, with only a woodpigeon ringed in 6 and a half hours. On the plus side its not often we get a new woodpigeon, a brass lining at best.
Moths were equally quiet, but we caught this Spectacle. As a species that lives on nettle, we should be nigh knee deep in them, but they're scarcer than they should be.
