A slower day today, though a few more willow warblers were moving through after yesterdays dearth. A black tern feeding off the point was the first we've seen here all year, giving us a four tern day, as we haven't had any little terns go past for a while. Another hobby moved south, as did a selection of waders, though none of them were species we haven't encountered this month. Two of the four ringed plover chicks remain on the beach, and with luck they'll make it through the busy summer. 

Cydia amplana is a migrant species that has established colonies in Suffolk, though not at Landguard.

Birds Ringed: Goldfinch 1, Linnet 1, Robin 2, Willow Warbler 3, Wren 2.
