Good crop of Henbane on site this year for those of you wishing to poison your spouse!
On the move southbound 9 Swift, 3 Curlew, 2 Swallow, House Martin, Sand Martin, Sandwich Tern & surprisingly a Stock Dove which is a species only rarely noted here at this time of the year despite there being plenty just inland from us. Otherwise its baby birds with yet another Coal Tit plus a Nightingale which is a tad early for a youngster to be showing up as autumn movements don't normally get going until the last few days of July. At a guess it won't have come from far away. Both Mr & Mrs Peregrine were sat atop the nearest dock cranes which is nice to know they are still about as they can be very elusive at this time.
On the Butts pond another 5 Scarce Emerald Damselflies were noted.
Ringing: 2 Wren, 1 Coal Tit, 1 Dunnock, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Great Tit, 1 Nightingale, 1 Starling.
