Dock Bug

First juvenile linnets appeared today, joining the ever growing horde of juveniles out on the common. The first juvenile great tits have been out for a couple of days, and one found its way into the Helgoland trap late morning. A few more little terns were fishing off the beach and two spotted flycatchers were present, one of which was then ringed. 

Rain showers stayed away until midday despite contradictory predictions from various forecasters.


Pale Tussock moth, like a lot of relatively common species, is a scarce visitor to Landguard, occurring in roughly 1 out of 3 years. With luck this female may try and breed here, assuming she can find a male.

Ringed Birds: Great tit 1, Linnet 2, Spotted Flycatcher 1
