First genuinely warm sunny day of the year. Wouldn't mind betting that these 3 Turnstone are not going to bother migrating to the far north this year. Apart from 2 Swallow heading south it's basically a mixture of locally bred birds plus juvenile dispersal from nearby including Blackcap, Great Spotted Woodpecker & Grey Wagtail.
First Mottled Beauty for six years, after being annual for several years prior to that.
Ringing: 2 Dunnock, 1 Blackcap, 1 Blue Tit, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Great Tit, 1 Grey Wagtail, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Linnet, 1 Whitethroat.
