A slightly cooler day but with it still being hot, fewer birds were around today. Migrants included 1 Chiffchaff, 17 Swift, 1 Swallow, 4 Goldfinch and 3 Curlew. 

The moth traps this morning produced several nice species including this Elephant Hawk-moth, above. 

Several Ringlet butterflies are starting to appear around the nature reserve, the first of the year for us here, below.


Ringing: 6 birds ringed during the morning including 2 Common Whitethroat, 1 Blackbird, 1 Wren, 1 Greenfinch and 1 House Sparrow.
