Bright n' breezy start but increasing wind & cloud by midday invited a few butterflies, like Brown Argus, to come out to play. Butterfly numbers have been very low so far this "summer". Migrants heading south were 8 Curlew, 4 Sand Martin, Common Tern, Oyk & Sandwich Tern. Dispersing juveniles paying a visit include Chiffchaff, Grey Wagtail & Meadow Pipit.
Moth numbers also very poor. Small Fan-footed Wave rarely visits us with this one looking a bit worn & wind blown suggesting it had no intention of coming here from inland.
Ringing: 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Dunnock, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Great Tit, 1 Grey Wagtail.
