Very strong breeze from the north east today. We were optimistic for an oddity, as they often turn up at this time of year in these conditions. However, a spotted flycatcher was the only migrant of note at the observatory. Plenty of fledgling birds around, and the starling flock has increased to 300. In the strong wind 6 little terns headed north up the coast.


Small Elephant Hawkmoth is a stunning moth that we do very well for here, with individuals recorded almost every day these last few weeks.

Ringed Birds: Blackbird 1, Linnet 2, Robin 1, Spotted Flycatcher 1.
