A much drier day, with a strong westerly wind. Some migrants observed today, with swifts and swallows past the Observatory, the female wheatear still out on the reserve and a new (possibly failed breeder) female blackcap caught. Another juvenile coal tit was ringed, and started subsong later in the morning, which was interesting given its age.
A male and female muntjac fighting in the compound was an interesting sighting early morning.
Large Skipper butterflies might still hang on at Landguard, though hardly any have been observed in recent years.
Ringed Birds: Blackcap 1, Coal Tit 1, Dunnock 1, Goldfinch 2, Robin 2
