31st July

Most of the coverage was on the land today where there was decent arrival of migrants including 65 Willow Warblers, a Grasshopper Warbler, a few Reed Warblers, four Garden Warblers, a Redstart and a Whinchat.

A Brown Hare was seen.

A Common Frog in the Observatory garden was an unusual sighting.

Remarkably, yet another Dark Crimson Underwing was trapped overnight.
