Monday 17th April 2023

A nice sunny day, quite warm eventually. Most of the usual suspects from the previous days were still present, 9 wheatear on the nature reserve, whitethroat at the Butts, chiffchaff and goldcrest in the compound. The most notable species was a ring ouzel present briefly early morning before heading high north.


A different Bloxworth Snout to the one present in the cellars on the 4th was in the traps today. Still very few records of this species that may have colonised Landguard. 

Birds Ringed: Blue Tit 1, Chiffchaff 1, Firecrest 1, Linnet 1, Wren 2.
