Very calm and increasingly warm weather made for a pleasant days work. An eider was seen off the point, slowly drifting north, and two blackcaps were singing from the observatory compound. A chiffchaff was the first ringed for quite some time. Baby birds were aplenty today, with robin, dunnock, linnet, great tit and starling fledglings ringed and more seen.
Moths were down on previous nights because of the rain and the chilly night. This White Colon is a nationally scarce species we do quite well for. It's a species that lives on Restharrow.
Birds Ringed: Chiffchaff 1, Dunnock 2, Great Tit 4, Linnet 8, Robin 1, Starling 2, Whitethroat 1.
