Friday 3rd April 2026


A ringed, Ring plover (Charadrius hiaticula) most likely one of our own ringed as a chick.   

A bleek morning, with strong SSW wind with spells of drizzle, brought in a new female Wheatear alongside a male late morning, with both disappearing by lunch. 

Visibility remained good for sea watching with 10 Oystercatcher, 2 Black headed gulls and a Gannet seen flying north. 3 Gannet and 2 Greylag were seen flying south. 7 Common scoter were seen riding the waves.  

Moth trapping produced less than 5 individuals between the 3 traps... consisting of hebrews and quakers. Perhaps the moon reduced the draw of the traps!  

The full moon seen to the east last night, marking the easter weekend. 


Ringing: 5 Chiffchaff
