A pleasant sunny day, though a mist hung over most of the reserve restricting viewing and any activity to a degree. A flock of 60 Black-tailed Godwits was a good count and several Brambling, Siskin and a Redpoll could be found among the Goldfinch flock on site.
The moth traps produced ten species, a notable increase, comprising of 10 Hebrew Characters, 3 Clouded Drabs, 2 Shoulder Stripes and single Small Quaker, Twin-spot Quaker, March Tubic, Early Thorn, Pale Pinion, Mottled Grey and Dotted Border.
