An strong easterly wind brought with it a colourful surprise. A hoopoe was present on and around the reserve, feeding strongly and enjoyed by many observers. Other than this however, it was a quiet day, 9 swallows south and a blackcap and several lesser whitethroats singing in the compound being the highlights. A single house martin east was vaguely notable, and 6 wheatear remain on the reserve.
