| Willow Emerald |
The wind was as calm as its been in a while, which is not to say a lot, but it allowed the sun to really warm the reserve. A lot of birds present this morning, willow warblers in the majority, but starling and linnet numbers are up and the commoner warblers are moving through, with lesser whitetrhoats more obvious than they have been. A garden and a reed warbler found their way into the compound, and several blackcaps and whitethroats were around. Almost a normal autumn day.
Euspilapteryx auroguttella lives on perforate St John's Wort which is abundant at Landguard.
Birds Ringed: Garden Warbler 1, Goldfinch 1, Linnet 1, Reed Warbler 1, Robin 3, Willow Warbler 7.
