Hoary Footman

A quieter morning, though still with some highlights. A male redstart was present on the Butts, with a female type in front of the observatory, a spotted flycatcher was our first ringed of the autumn and another sedge warbler paid us a visit. 

In non bird news, a brown long eared bat was found on site, the first record in the daytime for Landguard. 

On the moth front, a Hoary Footman was only the second record of this immigrant species since the first record last autumn.

Birds Ringed: Blackcap 3, Blue Tit 2, Chiffchaff 4, Grey Wagtail 1, Meadow Pipit 8, Sedge Warbler 1, Spotted Flycatcher 1.
