A change in the wind to a more northerly direction produced a more autumnal feel this morning, consequently most things were slow to get active, and the moth traps were less productive than of late. Nevertheless a Hobby was seen hunting the common first thing and 18 Common Swifts flew north. Offshore 5 Curlew and 1 Whimbrel went south.
On the moth front this Oak Eggar (above) is always a nice find, also Green Silver-Lines, Mathews Wainscot, Brown Rustic and Iron Prominent were found in the traps, which although not rare, are unusual at Landguard.
Ringing totalled 10 birds. 4 Goldfinch, 2 House Sparrow, and 1 each of Blackcap, Reed Warbler, Greenfinch and Linnet.
