The odd "first summer" Turnstone don't head up to the Arctic to breed in their first year.

Grim start clearing to become bright n' breezy. Migrants include southbound 4 Swallow & 2 Curlew with northbound 14 Canada Geese presumably heading off to their moulting grounds, 8 Med Gull & 3 Jackdaws that have probably not come far. A Hobby whizzed through at breakneck speed.

Epinotia trimaculana is, apparently, a common species nationally that lives on Hawthorns but has only ordained us with its presence on a handful of previous occasions.

Ringing: 1 Robin.
