Another very warm day. Birds were sensibly not moving a lot, so the list of observations and ringing were appropriately low. 5 lapwings over the Obs early morning was a nice record however. We had two members visiting, so it was good to catch another green woodpecker juvenile for them to see up close. Quality not quantity today.
A southern hawker dragonfly was hunting in the observatory compound in the morning and the usual selection of butterflies were also present.
Despite the warm morning, the night had been significantly cooler so moth numbers were down, though diversity remained high. Oncocerea semirubella is one of the better looking micro moths.
Birds Ringed: Blackbird 1, Blue Tit 1, Dunnock 1, Green Woodpecker 1, Linnet 2.
