Very little of note to report over recent days, with a stready arrival of Painted Ladies providing most of the migration interest – all days have seen small numbers, with a peak of 25 on 7th. Diamond-back moths have also continued to arrive to large numbers, with several thousand anecdotally observed each day (representing a very small fraction of actual numbers).
Last week’s Avocet (Mark Pearson)
Avian arrivals have been conspicuous by their absence, although we did receive news of last week’s colour-ringed Avocet from the BTO today: it was ringed as a chick at Seal Sands, Teesmouth on 2nd June 2015, and this is the first sighting since.
