Last knockings for spring migration with singles of Blackcap, Firecrest & Reed Warbler with first knockings of autumn migration as represented by another 2 Curlew south. Difficult to know whether 3 Swallow south at this time of the year are tardy spring birds or individuals who have had enough and are on their way out. The first dispersing juvenile Coal Tit of the season appeared mid-day. Single Peregrine carrying breakfast is worth a mention as very few have been seen this spring.
Lot cooler overnight so moth trap contents were much reduced on the previous night although this did not prevent the first Elephant Hawk-moth of the season paying a visit.
Ringing: 2 Linnet, 2 Starling, 1 Blackcap, 1 Dunnock, 1 Firecrest, 1 Robin.
