We failed to see any Six-spot Burnet moths last year so it's pleasing to note them again in the last couple of days.

Heading south 9 Swallow, 2 Curlew, 2 Sand Martin, Oyk & Swift. Dispersing juvs included 4 Chiffchaff, Blackcap & Great-spot.

Second site record of Epagoge grotiana that flew off after this quick shot ! It's another moth that probably had no intention of coming here but got caught up in the inclement weather conditions.

Ringing: 3 Wren, 2 Dunnock, 1 Blackcap, 1 Chiffchaff.
