Hunt the migrant. Apart from the stuff breeding here today's migrants are 13 Sandwich Tern out of the river then north, 4 Swallow south, Hobby plus a juvenile Mistle Thrush. Hard graft to find any Mistle Thrush's nesting in the Felixstowe area so who knows where this one has dispersed from ? Lizard's are not easy to see here but must be in fairly good numbers as the Kestrel's that hunt on the reserve seem to find plenty of them particularly at the Butts end of the site. Today's featured moth is Coxcomb Prominent - we only note a small number of these little beauties each year.

5 birds ringed: 4 linnet, 1 greenfinch.
