A Buzzard flew south out to sea, Hobby south over the river behind the observatory & the 15th site record of Red Kite high over the reserve then across towards Dovercourt. All of these raptors are, presumably, wandering immatures but what on earth the Buzzard thinks it is doing way out to sea is a bit perplexing. A flock of 22 Canada Geese south close inshore is the third such flock noticed recently. The first Meadow Brown butterfly & Hummingbird Hawk-moth of the year were noted.
Beautiful Hook-tip was first noted here five years ago but now seems to have become established in small numbers.
Ringing: 1 Linnet, 1 Robin.
