Starting to get a tad warm at the moment. The nature reserve is getting to look parched in exposed places although slight hollows give a bit of shelter and retain a bit more moisture allowing little patches of botanical splendour. No sign of any bird migrants on site apart from a Lapwing on the reserve first thing. The ringing is basically a few baby birds at this time of the year consisting of a mixture of those bred on site and those dispersing from elsewhere as they are forced to make their own way in the world. Moth traps busy following warm nights and included this Orange Ladybird which we don't see very often.
9 birds ringed: 3 house sparrow, 2 greenfinch, 1 wren, 1 great tit, 1 blue tit, 1 starling
