Before the blustery wind picked up we had a few migrants of note pass through, the first brambling of the month flew south, and our third male firecrest of the year in the holm oaks. Linnet numbers have picked up, with 60 being the total for today. 9 sanderling on the beach were the first we've had in some time.
Moths were thin on the ground because of the strong winds in the night. However, the sunny conditions during the morning were conducive to our first butterfly records of the year, with a peacock and a comma out on the nature reserve. Frogs were spawning in the Butts Pond despite the chilly temperatures.
Birds Ringed: Chiffchaff 1, Great Tit 1, Long-tailed Tit 1.
