Tuesday 7th May 2024


Another lovely sunny and warm morning. Unlike yesterday however, there were a few migrants around. The observatories first white wagtail of the year was out on the reserve, along with a female reed bunting, 2 wheatear, and 2 blackcap. Offshore there were 10 common scoter heading south, and 4 sandwich tern. Mammal highlight was a vixen with 2 cubs in the observatory grounds, seen by one lucky observer and not seen again throughout the morning. 


Yellow Belle can be found during the day as well as coming to light.
