Some sunny skies and dry weather produced a lot of insect observations with emperor, brown and southern migrant hawker dragonflies taking advantage of the warmth of the compounds sheltered areas. A couple of Jersey Tiger moths were also notable, not in the numbers they were last year, yet.
Willow warblers abounded today, with at least 18 observed or ringed, alongside a new reed warbler and another juvenile blackcap. 6 house martins flying south was notable, but any records of the species have been this year. The three young gulls on the museum have fledged and the plover chicks are still being protected by their parents almost a week after hatching.
