Another calm day held the suggestion of something special . . . but that never coalesced. 2 Avocets at the point were of note, as was the third short-eared owl of the season flying about early morning. A female brambling at the observatory added to the 'March' flavour the day was giving. Swallow numbers were up, but still didn't break 3 figures and no martins or swifts were seen. The first Garden & Sedge Warbler of the year were noted.


On the moth front we had some more luck, as the season progresses and the temperature increases, we should get larger diversity more frequently. This Lunar Marbled Brown is a species that has only been noted here on three previous occasions.

Birds Ringed: Brambling 1, Lesser whitethroat 3, Linnet 2
