Another sticky and humid morning. A great spotted woodpecker paid us a brief visit as did a juvenile coal tit. A med gull joined 40 black-headed gulls going south. Also moving south were a few hirundines: 19 swallows and 2 sand martins, and a handful of waders: 6 whimbrel, 1 curlew and 2 oystercatcher. A juvenile blackbird was the first we've seen in several weeks, and still more young wrens and dunnocks are emerging from the scrub.
Two Cydia fagiglanda this morning were unexpected as we only have 3 previous records and two of those were last century. It's a beech mast specialist.
Birds Ringed: Blackbird 1, Coal Tit 1, Dunnock 1, Wren 2.
