A few quirky sightings today as at least a few birds seemed to be moving. Highlight was probably 2 Little Terns over the beach being mobbed by the resident Ringed Plover pair. Also 1 lone Barnacle Goose South, 1 Black Redstart, 1 singing Blackcap, 2 Chaffinch and 2 Song Thrush (1 this years young). Female Ring Ouzel still present. In the afternoon a female Whinchat was located just out the front of the Observatory.
Offshore 8 Little Egret flew East and were lost to view, 6 Common Scoter, 3 Common Tern, 5 Dunlin, 20 Kittiwake and a Sandwich Tern.
7 pairs of Shelduck today but no ducklings yet - there's still time.
The moth of the day is this micro Ancylus laetana. Being only the second site record it has potential to colonise on the poplars here.
Ringing: 1 Blackcap, 1 Robin, 1 Song Thrush.
