A hot sleepy Sunday and despite warm Easterlies there was little movement in the bird department. Feeding Common Terns and some Kittiwake offshore whilst 2 Chaffinch, 1 Meadow Pipit, 1 Sand Martin and some Swallows about the reserve. 1 Female Ring Ouzel still present. Also 2 Common Seals swimming off the beach. There were plenty of 'year ticks' for our invertebrates today.
Four-spotted Chaser sunning itself on the ridge.
All in all, 8 Butterfly species recorded today including the first Holly Blue of the year. Large Red Damselfly also a notable find.
Figure of Eighty gets its name from the '80' mark on the wing. Although it's much clearer in some individuals compared to others!
Ringing: Nil.
