Not sure how many previous records we have on file of Great Green Bush-cricket.

Breezy morning. Migrants were typically in short supply but included a Spot Fly. A Grey Wag is likely to be a failed breeder going walkabout. 2 Chaffinch & 2 Coal Tit are probably dispersing juveniles. Southbound 19 Swallow, 5 Swift & a House Martin should really be at their breeding grounds in early June. 32 Med Gull & 27 Black-headed Gull heading south & into the river in dribs & drabs suggests a disaster on a breeding colony somewhere.

We occasionally get Buff-tip which is hard to beat in the camouflage department.

Ringing: 1 Grey Wagtail, 1 Linnet, 1 Wren.
