Despite the hot weather, there was actually some bird movement today. Some was dispersal movement of juveniles; a song thrush, green woodpecker and lesser whitethroats, but some were 'proper' migrants, a yellow wagtail and 3 common sandpipers at the point. Robins are much more in evidence at the moment, with a lot of juveniles moulting into their first year plumage.
Southern Wainscot (moth pictured showing its distinctive head pattern) is a reed bed species which hasn't been seen here for five years.
Birds Ringed: Dunnock 1, Lesser Whitethroat 1, Linnet 3, Robin 1, Song Thrush 1.
