This Ringed Plover youngster is now 5 weeks old, flying, but still being watched over by its parents. Another pair have 4 tiny chicks that were starting to hatch on Saturday so are still very vulnerable.
Migrants include southbound 9 Bar-tailed Godwit, 4 Swallow, 3 Curlew, 2 Swift & Sand Martin. Mistle Thrush is still here otherwise it's baby bird time with several dispersing juveniles heading off on their own.
First noted in 2004 & annual in small numbers over the last ten years the Coronet has, apparently, shifted its foodplant from Ash to Privet.
Ringing: 2 Blackcap, 1 Cetti's Warbler, 1 Dunnock, 1 Linnet, 1 Pied Wagtail.
