A calm morning with a little cloud and today we were greeted by a little fall of Chiffchaff. A further 138 Brent Geese flying downriver and moving North too. Still quite a few Swallow buzzing around and a few new Goldfinch have arrived - their numbers have been slowly climbing as late even though the young aren't out yet.
It is nice to see Herring Gull with colour ring ZXX out on the reserve. This bird survived a sticky situation with some netting but was rescued and released and we know all this thanks to the ringing scheme.
We are not short of singing Dunnock here at Landguard.
It might not be the most vibrant moth we record here but Cydia microgramana is nationally rare. It lives here on Restharrow.
Ringing: 3 Chiffchaff, 2 Goldfinch.
