An unexpected avian highlight this morning was a nightingale caught early morning. Presumably a failed breeder moving out of its territory in preparation for its moult and return migration. Aside from this, the species list was much the same as previous days. Certainly more excitement in the insect department today. 

Muntjac are normally very elusive, and its hard to know how many are actually present on site at any one time. Seeing three at once here is quite unusual, but one or two of them have been very bold this year.


We had our first site record of Coleophora amethystinella today. This species was first recorded in Suffolk 20 years ago and has finally reached us.

Birds Ringed: Blue Tit 1, Great Tit 1, Linnet 4, Nightingale 1, Woodpigeon 1.
