Summers settling in with high temperatures and birds busy breeding or moulting. This didn't stop an interesting record of a juvenile marsh tit. This is only the 6th record for Landguard and the earliest by almost a week. Lovely fresh plumage, enjoyed by all present.
Other tits were still coming out of the woodwork, with both new great and blue tits ringed. The first juvenile house sparrow was ringed today, hopefully the first of many. After a few days of low numbers the starling flock built up to 500 birds in the afternoon.
Ringed Birds: Blue Tit 1, Great Tit 1, House Sparrow 1, Linnet 1, Marsh Tit 1.
