Wednesday 6th April 2022

 

Draughty & showery morning with the first Redstart & 2 Willow Warbler of the spring arriving with a small selection of other migrants including 6 Mipit, 3 Chaffinch, 2 Chiffchaff & Fieldfare plus what are presumably the same 2 male Wheatear that arrived two days ago hanging around. Offshore southbound 18 Brent, 5 Common Gull, 3 Knot, 2 Greylags & Great Crested Grebe. Finally Black Red in front of the Fort & Purp on the point.

Male Muslin Moth right at the start of the flight period may well be waiting around for a couple of weeks before the first girlies come out to play.

Ringing: 1 Blue Tit, 1 Robin, 1 Willow Warbler.
