A few Swift feeding up in the morning but they soon pushed off which didn't leave us much else out of the norm except a singing Chiffchaff and 3 Swallow. Young Goldfinch have been out and about a couple weeks now. Starling numbers dwindling out on the reserve lately but a second brood of two ringed today just shows the new boxes on the cottage are being effective. Sparrowhawk in the compound later in the evening.
Aproaerema polychromella is a rare and pretty little moth to our shores. It's a first site record here and no surprise as the food plant is native to the Canary islands! (Tenerife).
Ringing: 1 Blackcap, 1 Blue tit, 3 Great tit, 2 Starling and 1 Wren.
