10th Aug

There was a small arrival of migrants this morning with a Great Spotted Woodpecker and 50 Willow Warblers of note. A Greenshank, two Wood Sandpipers and 18 Yellow Wagtails passed overhead.

Given the overnight conditions the moth traps were relatively quiet again but remarkably they did produce our second record of the very rare migrant Many-lined. Thanks to Matthew Deans and Sean Clancy for correcting my initial identification.
