Another hot sticky one. Migrants included 19 Yellow Wagtail, 6 Mipit, 3 Blackcap, 3 Whitethroat, 2 Chiffchaff, Grey Wag, Hobby, Pied Fly, Reed Warbler, Siskin, Spot Fly, Tree Sparrow, Wheatear, Whinchat, White Wag & Willow Warbler. Sound like not to many birds but when one throws in 250 Linnet, 250 Starling, 20 Pied Wag plus a few other bits n' bobs on the reserve then plenty to look through.
Worn, faded "bird-poo" lookalikes that are unfamiliar to us are enough to put anyone off moth identification. This is quite likely the first site record of the nationally scarce
Notocelia incarnatana but, as there are only a couple of previous Suffolk records, second opinions will be sought. The artificial intelligence suggests that's what it is although the AI apps are not always correct - although they are learning and retaining the knowledge a lot quicker then I do these days !
Ringing: 1 Blackcap, 1 Blue Tit, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Robin, 1 Willow Warbler.
