A very hot day today, made somewhat bearable by a reasonable breeze from the south. Curlew passage is increasing, presumably failed breeders heading south , not a very optimistic sight for this red listed breeding species. More young passerines are appearing, with fresh great tit juvenile dispersal, freshly fledged dunnock and blackbird in the observatory grounds. House sparrow activity is increasing as adults are increasingly busy feeding young, some of which have fledged already.
Ringed Birds: Blackbird 1, Dunnock 1, Great Tit 2, House Sparrow 1
