Singing Male Blackcap at first light today being closely watched by a female - or was he chasing her? Also a Juvenile Black Redstart at Manor terrace car park later followed by another seemingly different bird right at the point. A young peregrine perched up on the seafront seemed to be having a break before continuing to wander North. Also of note 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker, 1 Greenfinch, 1 Grey Wagtail, 3 Swallow and 4 Swift.


Acrobasis tumidana is a scarce migrant in the UK first noted here in 2018. It will be attempting to colonise on Oak trees.

Ringing: 2 Blackcap, 2 Blue Tit, 1 Cetti's Warbler, 1 Dunnock, 4 Linnet, 3 Whitethroat.
