Despite the chilly conditions a few Large Red Damselflies are appearing.

Today's paltry selection of migrants include Blackcap, Chaffinch, Chiffchaff, Ring Ouzel for her 10th day, Wheatear & some new Lesser 'throats continuing to arrive. Offshore northbound 20 Whimbrel, 12 Barwit, 7 Gannet, 3 Oyk & 2 Sandwich Tern.

Moth trap interest was picking up but with cooler northerly conditions prevailing it's resorted to low numbers & variety. Living on St. John's Wort Treble-bar is starting to come out.

Ringing: 4 Starling (pulli), 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Goldfinch.
