Slightly more interesting on the bird front today, with another spotted flycatcher on the nature reserve, the first juvenile pied wagtail recorded for the year and a relatively interesting passage of various gull species and a couple of fulmars. 

A lone whitethroat sang loudly and constantly around the bird observatory, seemingly a male who still has not found a mate. 


Amongst the moths recorded today was this beautiful Eyed Hawk-Moth. This species visits us in small numbers each year.

Ringed Birds: Great Tits 3, Starling 2.
