A reasonable day for movement offshore, with various seabirds, ducks and waders passing through either north or south. A late very young robin and an equally young wren are signs that the breeding season is still going, even if autumn is basically upon us. 


Lesser Cockroach are regular in one of our moth traps. Usually they are 'stumpy with white bands', so presumably this is a different stage in its lifecycle, unless anyone has a different suggestion?

Mother of Pearl is common on nettles but with the drought devastating the nettles, not many are being seen. A subtly beautiful moth.

Birds Ringed: Dunnock 2, Linnet 1, Robin 1, Wren 1
