A few birds and a bit of mothing.
We had time to run the moth trap last night and caught 49 species including the migrant Dark Sword-grass.
A few more Black-tailed Godwit with 25 birds on the Mere including a few juveniles. Also 8 Ruff with one juvenile present, 20+ Common Snipe, 300+ Lapwing and Common Sandpiper.
Plenty of activity along the Nature Trail with good numbers of Tree Sparrow, Greenfinch, Chaffinch and Goldfinch around the feeders. A flock of Long-tailed Tit contained at least 15 birds as well as a few each of Coal, Blue and Great Tit.
Few reports received of raptors other than Marsh Harrier and Common Buzzard.
