The Observatory was in its own micro climate today, sheltered from the wind and with the sun shining it was lovely to sit and watch the Linnets feeding on the pine cones and a Barn Owl hunting over the marsh. A single Firecrest was seen near the Heli trap and the drake Garganey made some brief appearances in front on the first NWT hide.
In the nets 1 Chiffhchaff and 1 Blackbird were ringed
In the moths traps there were 7 Hebrew Characters and 2 Small Quakers.
