Nursery-web Spider Pisaura mirabilis in one of the moth traps this morning.

187 Cormorant went out fishing. 44 Brent went north plus 2 south. A male "stockamsel" type Blackbird was the first migrant Blacky of the spring on a fairly typical starting date. 3 Kestrel on the Butts is worth a mention. Rock Pipit & 3 Turnstone on the point.

Milder night so a couple of Hebrew Character in the traps. This is a common species although not one we get many of down here.

Ringing: 1 Blackbird.
