Monday 20th June 2022

Another quiet day today, with a few notable birds. A female pied wagtail was the first ringed for the year, and one of many out on the reserve feeding young. An immature dunlin (first summer) was present on the point, quite possibly not having even travelled as far as the breeding grounds this year. Birds not of breeding age from a variety of species often behave the same way. 


2021 was a bad year for Hummingbird Hawkmoths at Landguard with barely any seen. This year seems to be better, with several seen in the last few weeks with 3 at least present today.

Ringed Birds: Chiffchaff 1, House Sparrow 3, Pied Wagtail 1, Robin 1, Wren 2.
