The air had a bit of a Mediterranean feel this morning - very hot, humid and calm. There was however, enough Reed Warblers around to make you feel like you were at Minsmere. Also 2 Juvenile Coal tit, 1 Blackcap, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Grey Wagtail and a new Whitethroat.
In the trap a real beauty! Striped Hawk-moth is a migrant experiencing a good Spring across the South of the UK. We have only had half a dozen previous records.
Ringing: 2 Coal tit, 1 Blackcap, 6 Reed Warbler, 1 Robin, 1 Whitethroat, 1 Wood Pigeon.
