A much cooler start today but with no cloud cover Summer was quick to get back on form. 2 Black Redstart present as one ventured in the compound and another was located out on the point. Also of note 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Peregrine, 1 Reed Warbler and 2 Swift. 

A small influx of Emperor Dragonflies today brought with them 1 Southern Migrant Hawker. A quest to look for Spurge Hawk-moth Caterpillars was unsuccessful but it did turn up an Adonis Ladybird. 


First recorded here in 2020 Plumed Fan-foot has probably colonised.

Ringing: 1 Black Redstart, 1 Dunnock, 1 Great Tit, 1 Linnet.
