Friday 16th June 2023


A typical June day with soaring temperatures and few migrants. A reed warbler was singing from the Icky Ridge and the black redstart has returned after ten days to sing his lonesome song from the fort buildings. Plenty of juvenile birds on the wing, and the insect numbers are up significantly.


Only the second site record of Suspected, with the previous one being 14 years ago. 

Birds Ringed: Dunnock 1, Great Tit 2, Linnet 7, Starling 1.
