The Brown Argus (above) was first noted at Landguard in 1999 and has since colonised the site, despite its main food plant Common Rock-rose not occurring. Here the alternatives are Common Storksbill and Dovesfoot Cranesbill (below).
Bird wise, 16 Sanderling are patrolling the beach, and hirundines are starting to migrate back towards Africa, with small numbers of Sand Martins and Swallows passing through. Whilst on site 5 Whitethroats, 1 Chiffchaff and a Yellow Wagtail were lurking.
19 birds were ringed, 6 House Sparrow, 5 Linnet, 3 Greenfinch, and one each of Wren, Song Thrush, Dunnock, Chiffchaff and Pied Wagtail.
