Thursday 8th September 2022

A damp morning, with quite a few birds moving through. Brents are heading south again, in small numbers, as are a handful of ducks: wigeon, shoveler and teal. A reasonable trickle of swallows heading south along with 23 house martins. Wheatear numbers have increased to 7. 

Good views were had of sandwich terns feeding either side of the observatory. 


One of the oddest named moths, the L-Album Wainscot was first noted in the year 2000 and has now colonised here, living on marram grass.
