For those interested, some decent sized Stinking Goosefoot is on display on the reserve. |
A male blackcap with a ring on was an unusual visitor today, presumably a failed breeder from nearby, as none are breeding on the reserve that we know of. A buzzard headed south along the beach and a few late scoter headed north, along with 3 sandwich tern, a single common tern and 2 turnstone.
More young birds are on the wing, with dunnocks adding to the reserve creche along with some blue tits and more wrens.
Noted in only a dozen previous years, Lilac Beauty is becoming more regular in recent times.
Birds Ringed: Blackbird 1, Dunnock 1, Linnet 1, Wren 1.
