Monday 31st March 2025

The last day of March and according to the radio it's 'probably the sunniest on record.' Today was indeed very sunny. In the early morning light a Coal tit was spotted but it didn't hang around to find out if it was a continental or not. Later on 1 Swallow South and 1 Sand Martin North. Still Chiffchaffs coming through some singing here and there. Other migrants included 1 Collared Dove, 1 Reed bunting, 1 Redwing, 1 Song Thrush, 1 Sanderling, 4 Turnstone, 3 Meadow Pipit and 2 Med Gull.


 A new record for LBO was a female Minotaur Beetle in the moth trap. She is in fact a Dung Beetle and lacking the three front horns you would find on a male beetle. There sure is plenty of rabbit and fox feces about. 

Ringing: 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Great Tit, 1 Wren
