A Marsh Warbler is a classic June scarcity chuntering along to himself with a Reed Warbler doing the same nearby. Other migrants hard to come by with southbound 3 Swallow & a House Martin. 3 Jackdaw paid a visit, 2 Turnstone were on the point & a Sanderling on the beach. Both Lesser Whitethroat & Whitethroat now have youngsters out of the nest which is good to report. 

Cooler nights are not conducive to many moths although it didn't prevent the first Shore Wainscot of the year appearing. This is a nationally scarce species living on Marram Grass.

Ringing: 4 Linnet, 2 Wren, 1 Blackbird, 1 Blue Tit, 1 Reed Warbler.
