| Deep-brown Dart |
A drier day today, still with little obvious migration but there were certainly more birds around. A female redstart was one of less than 5 ringed this year, a sad reflection on the species status in the east of England. A lot of chiffchaffs were present, as were a couple of blackcaps, both classic September migrants, though the latter was certainly not in the numbers we'd expect. The tree sparrow (or another individual) was associating with a group of finches early in the morning, but was elusive.
Deep-brown Dart is a classic autumnal moth, in flight at the end of September and early October.
Birds Ringed: Blackcap 1, Blue Tit 3, Chiffchaff 8, Dunnock 1, Great Tit 1, Greenfinch 1, Meadow Pipit 1, Redstart 1.
