 A bit more variety today as we found ourselves in overcast weather with some light rain overnight. There seemed to be quite a few new, calling Lesser Whitethroats arrived. It's not always easy to judge how many or if it's the same male just singing from bush to bush as he goes! Other migrants through, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Fieldfare, 1 Grey Heron, 1 Marsh Harrier, 1 Sedge Warbler, 3 White Wagtail, 8 Wheatear and 2 Yellow Wagtail. 

A bit more to look at on the sea also; 5 Common Tern, 1 Curlew, 3 Kittiwake and 50 Whimbrel. 



Likely the last Fieldfare of the Spring but you never truly know.


In the trap this beautiful Lime Hawk-moth. Quite the rarity here but not surprising as we don't have any lime trees!


Ringing: 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Blackcap, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Linnet, 1 Sedge Warbler, 3 Willow Warbler
